Arrest Warrant Issued Against Marilyn Manson For Assault, Lawyer Says 'This Whole Claim Is Ludicrous'
The Gilford Police Department in New Hampshire recently revealed through a Facebook post that an arrest warrant has been issued against Marilyn Manson.
The
Gilford
Police
Department
in
New
Hampshire
recently
revealed
through
a
Facebook
post
that
an
arrest
warrant
has
been
issued
against
Marilyn
Manson.
A
TMZ
report
revealed
that
the
warrant
was
issued
on
October
8,
2019,
but
the
police
department
released
a
statement
on
May
25.
Manson
is
facing
charges
of
Class
A
misdemeanour,
Simple
Assault.
The
singer
allegedly
had
spit
on
a
videographer
on
August
18,
2019,
during
his
concert
at
the
Bank
of
New
Hampshire
Pavilion.
The
TMZ
report
also
revealed
that
a
Class
A
misdemeanour
in
New
Hampshire
carries
a
possible
jail
sentence
of
less
than
a
year
and
a
fine
of
$2,000
or
less.
Gilford
Police
Department's
official
statement
said,
"The
Gilford
Police
Department
has
an
active
arrest
warrant
for
Brian
Hugh
Warner
(aka:
Marilyn
Manson)
for
two
counts
of
Class
A
misdemeanour
Simple
Assault
stemming
from
a
2019
incident
at
the
Bank
of
New
Hampshire
Pavilion.
The
alleged
assaults
involved
a
videographer.
Mr
Warner,
his
agent
and
legal
counsel
have
been
aware
of
the
warrant
for
some
time
and
no
effort
has
been
made
by
him
to
return
to
New
Hampshire
to
answer
the
pending
charges."
Meanwhile,
Manson's
attorney
Howard
King
has
said
that
the
claims
of
the
videographer
are
ludicrous.
In
a
statement
to
Pitchfork.com,
the
lawyer
said,
"This
whole
claim
is
ludicrous,
but
we
remain
committed
to
cooperating
with
authorities,
as
we
have
done
throughout."
"It
is
no
secret
to
anyone
who
has
attended
a
Marilyn
Manson
concert
that
he
likes
to
be
provocative
on
stage,
especially
in
front
of
a
camera.
This
misdemeanour
claim
was
pursued
after
we
received
a
demand
from
a
venue
videographer
for
more
than
$35,000
after
a
small
amount
of
spit
came
into
contact
with
their
arm.
After
we
asked
for
evidence
of
any
alleged
damages,
we
never
received
a
reply," the
statement
added.
This
is
not
the
first
time
Marilyn
Manson
has
been
charged
with
assault.
Earlier
this
year,
Manson
was
accused
of
charges
like
physical,
psychological,
and
sexual
abuse
by
a
number
of
women,
including
his
former
girlfriend
Evan
Rachel
Wood,
Wolf
Alice's
Ellie
Rowsell,
Game
of
Thrones
actress
Esmé
Bianco,
and
his
former
assistant
Ashley
Walters.
The
star
is
being
investigated
by
the
Los
Angeles
County
Sheriff's
Department.
Notably,
Bianco
and
Walters
have
also
filed
lawsuits
against
Manson
for
sexual
assault
and
battery.
