UPDATE: A not guilty plea has been entered on behalf of singer Marilyn Manson in a district court in New Hampshire. Manson has been accused of approaching a videographer at his 2019 concert in New Hampshire and allegedly spitting and blowing snot on her.
Manson surrendered in July to police in Los Angeles in connection with the 2019 arrest warrant in the case. A status hearing on the case is now set for late December.
Manson was charged with two misdemeanor counts of simple assault stemming from the alleged incident at the Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion in Gilford, New Hampshire. The misdemeanor charges can each result in a jail sentence of less than a year and a $2,000 fine if convicted.
UPDATE: As expected, Marilyn Manson has turned himself in to face assault charges in a New Hampshire incident.
Manson was processed and released in Los Angeles on personal recognizance bail and can’t have contact with the alleged victim.
