Current Events > ;_: - Music legend, Bob Dylan, accused of SH against a 12yo girl in 1965

(+) Yeah! (+)

Bob Dylan has been sued for sexual assault. He is vehemently denying the allegation.

The "Like a Rolling Stone" singer, 80, is accused of grooming a 12-year-old girl over a six-week period between April and May of 1965. According to the complaint obtained by Yahoo Entertainment, the singer "befriended and established an emotional connection with the plaintiff," identified only as J.C., while living at his Chelsea Hotel apartment in New York City.

The lawsuit accuses Dylan, born Robert Zimmerman, of sexual abuse "coupled with the provision of drugs, alcohol and, threats of physical violence, leaving her emotionally scarred and psychologically damaged to this day." J.C., a 68-year-old woman now living in Greenwich, Conn., claims she's the victim of "one or more criminal sex acts."

Although the alleged crimes happened more than 50 years ago, the lawsuit was filed under 2019's New York Child Victims Act, which extends the statute of limitations for a survivor of child sexual abuse in criminal and civil cases. J.C. is attempting to recover damages as she suffered "severe psychological damage and emotional trauma caused by Dylan's wrongful and criminal acts."
J.C. claims to have suffered depression, humiliation, economic losses and anxiety as a result of the abuse and purportedly sought medical treatment.

"Dylan's predatory, sexual and unlawful acts against Plaintiff amounted to a series of harmful and offensive contacts to Plaintiff's person, all of which were done intentionally by him to her without her consent," J.C.'s lawyer, Daniel W. Isaacs, says in the document.

Dylan "exploited his status as a musician by grooming J.C. to gain her trust and to obtain control over her as part of his plan to sexually molest and abuse J.C.," the complaint reads. The Grammy-winning musician is accused of giving her alcohol and drugs on numerous occasions, which lead to her being sexually abused "multiple times."

A spokesperson for Dylan tells Yahoo, "The 56-year-old claim is untrue and will be vigorously defended."

The lawsuit was filed on Friday, one day before the "look-back" window of the New York Child Victims Act expired.

Bob Dylan, like the Beetles, is overrated as fuck and can't even play the harmonica

I wouldnt be surprised at all if he did this considering all of the fucked stories Ive heard about famous musicians from that time, but does she have any proof? Letters written by him or something? I hope she gets the justice she deserves but seems like it could be hard for her to prove

A court will decide if he is guilty

Yeah I just kind of assume most of the bohemian musicians of that time were perverts.

Press X to doubt

The man is 80 years old and this is just being brought up now? What a disaster. At least with Cosby there were some semi-recent accusations.

---

I thought he was dead

---

I think the proving is whether or not this woman has documentation of her having seen people about the problem over the years and if thats seen as evidence to consider it at all. Even if theres some indication she sought help back then and over the years, would it ever be able to be connected with actions by Dylan. I feel like thatd be impossible without him having written something or said something in front of people who could testify.

This would be excellent detective work, if it wasn't for:
Start date: April 30, 1965
End date: May 10, 1965

That still leaves about 30 days between april and may together where he wasn't doing this tour.

She's lying and waited to long. 1965

I mean, I am not exactly surprised. The 60's and 70's for famous people were...troubling, to say the least. In their actions, I mean.

Bob Dylan's music is trash and boring tbh

So by your account he showed up the day of the first concert and immediately left the minute his last show started? Interesting.

So by your account this 11-day tour left no possibility whatsoever where Dylan could have been in NYC during these two months? Interesting.

Who knows, honestly.

Hmm, did I say that? Nope, dont think I did.

I didn't say he left in a minute either, so you could have just not posted your dumb take.

In fact I misread the dates before, there are 50 days between these two months where he wasn't doing the tour, so I even counted 20 days too many.

Damn, hope he didnt do it, but he should be punished if he did.
