Evan Rachel Wood Releases Statement After 4-Year Marilyn Manson Investigation Ends Without Charges: “Endlessly Proud Of All Survivors”

Evan Rachel Wood released a statement following the decision by the L.A. DA's office to not level sexual abuse charges on Marilyn Manson.

“Within our toxic culture of victim blaming; a lack of understanding of coercive control, the complex nature of sexual assault within intimate partnerships, and statutes of limitations that do not support the realities of healing; prosecutions face an oftentimes insurmountable hurdle,” Bianco wrote, in part, on Instagram. On Friday, newly minted L.A. DA Nathan Hochman released a statement about the conclusion of the case: “We have determined that allegations of domestic violence fall outside of the statute of limitations, and we cannot prove charges of sexual assault beyond a reasonable doubt.” Last week, Wood further detailed her experience with the rock musician, née Brian Warner, appearing in Channel 4’s Marilyn Manson: Unmasked to say she felt “so f—ing violated” and “essentially raped” by him during the set of a 2007 music video.
