Marilyn Manson probably won’t be charged with any crimes following sexual assault claims from his ex-fiancee, Evan Rachel Wood, sources told <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2022/05/31/marilyn-manson-sexual-assault-case-no-charges/">TMZ</a>.
The 53-year-old rock star, whose real name is Brian Warner, came under heavy scrutiny in 2021 when Wood went public with her allegations of abuse. Specifics of the alleged abuse were detailed in the documentary “Phoenix Rising,” which debuted at Sundance in 2022.
For one thing, the actress said Warner “essentially raped” her during a music video shoot that was meant to include simulated sex.
“It was a really traumatizing experience filming the video. I didn’t know how to advocate for myself or know how to say no because I had been conditioned and trained to never talk back—to just soldier through,” Wood said of the experience.
“I felt disgusting and like I had done something shameful, and I could tell that the crew was very uncomfortable and nobody knew what to do,” she said. “I was coerced into a commercial sex act under false pretenses. That’s when the first crime was committed against me and I was essentially raped on camera.”
Wood made headlines in 2021 with <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/marilyn-manson-denies-evan-rachel-woods-abuse-allegations-gets-dropped-from-record-label">claims</a> that Warner began grooming her as a teenager and then “horrifically abused” her for years. She also alleged the hardcore rocker “brainwashed and manipulated” her during their relationship.
So far, Warner has denied all allegations and said that accusers who came forward were “cynically and dishonestly seeking to monetize and exploit the #MeToo movement,&#8221; and blamed one accuser for launching a “coordinated attack&#8221; against him.
Now after a months-long investigation, which culminated in Special Victims Unit detectives entering the rock star’s home in November, TMZ is reporting that there’s probably not enough evidence to bring charges against him.
The source told the publication that cops were close to submitting their findings to the L.A. County District Attorney&#8217;s Office, which will make the final decision on whether or not to bring charges against Warner. But the officers said there are &#8220;some credibility issues with the victim,&#8221; plus they could find no evidence of the “soundproof room” she was allegedly locked in as punishment.
Warner also filed a lawsuit against Wood, claiming she wrote a fake letter from the FBI, pretending to be an agent and hinting that he was under investigation in said fake letter to give credibility to other alleged victims as well as herself. 
The rocker has denied the claims all along. “Obviously, my art and my life have long been magnets for controversy, but these recent claims about me are horrible distortions of reality,” Warner said. “My intimate relationships have always been entirely consensual with like-minded partners.”
