Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael L. Stern said Wednesday that a former assistant to rocker Marilyn Manson had “too few facts to keep this case in court” and was brought too late to meet the statute of limitations rules. He dismissed the case “with prejudice,” meaning Manson can’t be sued again over the same allegations.

Lawyers for Marilyn Manson and the ex-assistant accusing him of “deranged” sexual harassment and assault squared off in a California courtroom Wednesday over the shock rocker’s latest attempt to beat back allegations that he was a violent sex predator who terrorized women.
