Marilyn Manson pleads not guilty to assault charges

Beleaguered rocker Marilyn Manson has pleaded not guilty on charges of assaulting a videographer at a 2019 concert.

According to the Associated Press, "an attorney has entered a not guilty plea on behalf of musical artist Marilyn Manson, who is accused of approaching a videographer at his 2019 concert in New Hampshire and allegedly spitting and blowing his nose on her."

In July Manson surrendered to police in Los Angeles as the result of an arrest warrant issued in connection with the case.

A case status hearing is reportedly scheduled for December 27.

Assault charges aside, Manson also stands accused of assault and abusive behavior by multiple women, alleged to have taken place during the past 15 years.
