Serious allegations against the musician and Nobel Prize winner Bob Dylan: A woman has filed a lawsuit against the 80-year-old in the New York Supreme Court. She accuses Dylan of sexually abusing her on multiple occasions in 1965, when she was 12 years old. Dylan was in his early twenties at the time.
According to the indictment, Dylan is said to have gained the trust of the plaintiff, whose name appears under the abbreviation “JC”, for over six weeks. He used his status as a musician to gain control over them and to be able to molest and abuse them sexually. He is also said to have given the minor drugs and alcohol, threatened her with violence and, among other things, abused her several times in his apartment in New York’s “Chelsea Hotel” in Manhattan.
Bob Dylan denies the allegations
Bob Dylan denies the allegations. “The 56-year-old claim is untrue,” his team told the British magazine “The Guardian”, among others. You will clearly defend yourself against it. The woman claims to be suffering from the psychological consequences of the crime to this day. According to the prosecution, she has since struggled with depression, shame and anxiety disorders, which are permanent and prevent her from doing normal activities.
The plaintiff, who now lives in the US state of Connecticut, filed the allegations on the last possible day on which the relatively new child sacrifice law in New York state still applied to her. The law came into force in 2019 in order to still be able to bring statute-barred crimes against underage victims to court. The Catholic Church had tried to the end to take action against it.
Bob Dylan, whose real name is Robert Allen Zimmermann, is considered one of the most successful musicians in the world. He celebrated his greatest successes in the mid-1960s. Last year he sold his music catalog to Universal for over $ 300 million. In 2016 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature.
