Marilyn Manson investigators are reviewing slew of new evidence in sex abuse, rape and torture probe

Prosecutors are reviewing 'new leads and additional evidence' against Marilyn Manson, who is accused by a dozen women of sex abuse, rape, and torture.

The heavy metal artist denies all allegations but settled lawsuits by two women including Game of Thrones actress Esme Bianco last year.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department investigated Manson for 19 months before turning its evidence over to persecutors in 2022.

LA County District Attorney George Gascón said his office was reviewing the new evidence before deciding soon whether to charge Manson.

'New evidence has emerged in the last few weeks, adding to an already extensive case file presented to our office by the LASD,' he said.

'It is our office's responsibility to ensure that we have a complete picture of the admissible evidence available before making a filing decision.'

'Senior staff members have met with victims, and our prosecutors continue to remain in contact with the victims and their representatives throughout this process.' 

Gascón said some of the alleged victims requested to meet with him to discuss the case, but that would be inappropriate while it was still being investigated.

He would instead meet them after deciding whether to file charges.

Police raided Manson's home in West Hollywood in 2021 after beginning the sex crimes probe earlier that year when the first accusers came forward. 

Bianco's lawsuit accused Manson, real name Brian Warner, of sexual assault, sexual battery, and human trafficking.

He settled another with an unnamed women last year who claimed he orally and vaginally raped her.

His ex-girlfriend, actress Evan Rachel Wood, also accused him of sex crimes. 

More to come.
