A sex offense is a sex offense – it doesn’t matter who committed it. A truism, sure, but one that might need to be reiterated when it comes to allegations against someone who supposedly doesn’t exist. What is meant are the serious rape allegations against riot rocker Marilyn Manson, a fictional character created by Brian Hugh Warner from the town of Canton in the US state of Ohio. Warner has now sued his one-time fiancee, actress Evan Rachel Wood, for defamation and conspiracy in Los Angeles.
