Bob Dylan Is Being Sued for Allegedly Sexually Abusing a 12-Year-Old Girl in 1965

Bob Dylan has been hit with a lawsuit over an allegation that dates back to 1965.

An anonymous woman has come forward with allegations that Dylan groomed her “as part of his plan to sexually molest and abuse” her. She claims that the legendary singer-songwriter gave her drugs and alcohol and then sexually abused her at his New York City apartment.

“Bob Dylan, over a six-week period between April and May of 1965 befriended and established an emotional connection with the plaintiff,” the lawsuit said.

Page Six published the lawsuit, which claims that Dylan established the “connection” to “lower [J.C.’s] inhibitions with the object of sexually abusing her, which he did, coupled with the provision of drugs, alcohol and threats of physical violence, leaving her emotionally scarred and psychologically damaged to this day.”

Even though the statute of limitations have passed, the New York Child Victims’ Act allowed the woman to file a suit against Dylan. The accuser filed the lawsuit on the eve of the act’s closure.

Dylan‘s rep responded to the lawsuit by saying, “This 56-year-old claim is untrue and will be vigorously defended.”
