A Los Angeles judge has dismissed a sexual assault lawsuit filed by Marilyn Manson's former assistant Ashley Walters, ruling that her claims fall outside the statute of limitations. The decision cancels a trial set for next month and revives questions about the delayed discovery rule in abuse cases. Walters' attorney plans to appeal the ruling.
Former assistant to Marilyn Manson, Ashley Walters, is attempting to reinstate her sexual abuse lawsuit against the musician using a new California statute that allows revival of time-barred claims. The case was dismissed last month due to the statute of limitations, but Walters argues the law, effective January 1, 2026, applies retroactively. This move could test the scope of the legislation in a high-profile context.
