A woman has accused Bob Dylan of sexually assaulting her in 1965, when she was 12 years old.
The Nobel prize laureate is being sued for assault, battery, false imprisonment and infliction of emotional distress in the New York supreme court.
The woman, referred to in court documents as ‘JC’, alleges that the singer, "exploited his status as a musician to provide [her] with alcohol and drugs and sexually abuse her multiple times.”
The abuse, which is alleged to have taken place at Manhattan's Chelsea Hotel, is claimed to have involved the use of drugs and alcohol to “lower her inhibitions” in order that the musician could “gain her trust and to obtain control over her as part of his plan to sexually molest and abuse [her]”.
