When it comes to the Marilyn Manson criminal investigation by the LASD on behalf of the LADA, we know there have been several questionable elements with unsatisfactory answers, but two stand out as most prominent. The first, as we recall, was when the LASD tried to close the investigation after 19 months and the LADA George Gascon forced them to continue due to the fact that they only handed in "partial case material," whatever that means. Two years would pass, this "partial case material" submitted in September 2022 was never explained or made whole, and the investigation seemed almost forgotten, until October 2024 when George Gascon announced they finally had new evidence in the Marilyn Manson investigation that needed to be explored.

According to Rolling Stone (which purposefully posted a photo of Manson from the last decade looking defeated), Ashley Walters, who was Marilyn Manson's personal assistant from 2010 to 2011, and whose case against him was revived upon appeal in December 2023, is now set to get a trial against her former boss, with a jury trial set to begin June 2, 2025.
Apparently there was an attempt to resolve the case through mediation in December 2023, but according to Walters’ lawyer, James Vagnini, the parties were “not successful at resolving the case.”
“We are happy that the delays are behind us and that we will have an opportunity to depose Mr. Warner and present all the facts to a jury next year,” Walters’ lawyer James Vagnini said in a statement to Rolling Stone. “We are confident they will acknowledge the harm done to Ms. Walters and deliver a resounding message to all survivors of such terrible abuse.”
There has been no comment as of yet from Manson's team, but he has denied "each and every allegation" against him made by his former assistant. Specifically he "denies that he assaulted, battered, harassed, or discriminated against Plaintiff."
