Much like the old DA never wanted to prosecute the actor/possible serial rapist, the current DA is under pressure to not prosecute the alliterate former rock star.

So, far it is working.

Old DA: Jackie Lacey

Danny Masterson

Current DA: George Gascon

Former rock star: Marilyn Manson

L.A. Sheriff Sends Marilyn Manson Sex Crime Probe to D.A. Gascón

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has concluded its investigation into the sexual abuse allegations leveled at Marilyn Manson and sent its findings on Monday to L.A. District Attorney George Gascón to decide if the evidence supports filing criminal charges against the pop star.

LASD began its investigation of Manson in February of 2021, weeks after his former fiancee, Evan Rachel Wood, claimed in a since-deleted Instagram post that Manson had been “grooming” her since she was a teenager “and horrifically abused me for years.” The Westworld actress was in a relationship with Manson from 2007-2010, a period of time she described in the HBO two-part docuseries Phoenix Rising, as well as on her Instagram account.

“I was brainwashed and manipulated into submission,” she wrote. “I am done living in fear of retaliation, slander, or blackmail.” Wood also testified to the alleged abuse, without naming Manson, in front of a congressional subcommittee in 2018. Her testimony was part of a hearing to get the Sexual Assault Survivors’ Bill of Rights Act enacted across every state.

The Los Angeles Times reports that the LASD’s Special Victims Bureau spent 19 months looking into incidents occurring between 2009 and 2011, when Manson, whose real name is Brian Warner, lived in West Hollywood. – Source

Danny Masterson accusers face down Scientology ploy at Denim Day rally

Yesterday, we told you we were anticipating that Mike Rinder’s estranged daughter Taryn Teutsch might repeat her ploy from last year and attempt to co-opt the message of the Denim Day rally in Los Angeles for Scientology’s disingenuous smear campaign against her father.

It turned out we were right about that, and Teutsch did get herself into the crowd behind Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti during the rally for photographs.

As we explained yesterday, Taryn’s ploy at the Denim Day rally is a sham. In a 2010 incident in Florida, Rinder was ambushed by his ex-wife Cathy Bernardini, Taryn, and several others, and in the confusing scrum that ensued Bernardini’s arm was scraped in what police determined was “incidental contact.” But Scientology has produced an endless stream of videos, tweets, and websites featuring Bernardini and Teutsch claiming that Rinder is an “abuser.” It’s quite obvious that the campaign is really about Scientology’s unhappiness with Rinder’s work as Leah Remini’s costar on the A&E series Scientology and the Aftermath, which recently finished its third season.

Denim Day is designed to show support for survivors of sexual assault, but Scientology sees it as an opportunity to pretend that Teutsch is a victim with a message — that A&E should fire Mike Rinder over the 2010 Florida incident. Last year, she showed up with large banners and signs and made sure to get a handshake with Mayor Garcetti. – Source
