Marilyn Manson's sexual assault case by former assistant reinstated under new California law A previously dismissed sexual assault case against Marilyn Manson, filed by former assistant Ashley Walters, was revived Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court under a new California law extending the statute of limitations for certain sexual abuse claims. Judge Steve Cochran granted Walters’ motion for reconsideration, vacating his December 2025 ruling that had dismissed the case and allowing it to proceed toward trial. The original suit, first filed in 2021, accused Manson, whose legal name is Brian Warner, of sexual harassment, sexual battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and wrongful termination based on her time working for him in 2010–2011. Previous attempts to move the case forward were blocked because the claims were made years after the alleged incidents, with courts initially ruling that the delayed discovery doctrine did not apply. The new law, Assembly Bill 250, s...

 Penn State dismisses coach James Franklin after midseason collapse in disappointing campaign

James Franklin has been dismissed as head coach at Penn State.

The university made the decision on Sunday, less than a day after a 22-21 home loss to Northwestern effectively ended the Nittany Lions’ slim hopes of reaching the College Football Playoff. Terry Smith will take over as interim coach for the remainder of the season. Penn State (3-3, 0-3 Big Ten) began the year with national title aspirations, but those ambitions faded by early October following three consecutive losses, each more damaging than the last.

The team’s slide began with an overtime home defeat to Oregon, followed by a road loss at previously winless UCLA. Saturday’s game at Beaver Stadium against Northwestern proved decisive, not only for the loss itself but also because quarterback Drew Allar suffered a season-ending injury. Franklin finishes his 11-plus seasons at Penn State with a 104-45 record, though the program struggled against top-ranked opponents, going 4-21 versus teams in the top 10.

Franklin was hired in 2014 following Bill O’Brien’s departure to the NFL and guided the program through the aftermath of NCAA sanctions tied to the Jerry Sandusky scandal. Known for his recruiting prowess, Franklin produced NFL talent, including Saquon Barkley and Micah Parsons, led Penn State to the 2016 Big Ten title, and kept the team consistently ranked. Despite hopes for a national championship this season, the Nittany Lions faltered after three initial wins in a light nonconference schedule.

Athletic director Pat Kraft expressed gratitude for Franklin’s contributions, noting the coach is due nearly $50 million in a buyout, but stated it was time for new leadership to push toward Big Ten and national championships. Smith now faces a daunting schedule, with upcoming games at Iowa, at No. 1 Ohio State, and home against No. 3 Indiana—matchups once expected to enhance CFP credentials but now likely to position Penn State as a spoiler.

The coaching change comes amid a $700 million renovation of Beaver Stadium, expected to finish by 2027. Franklin had signed a 10-year extension in 2021 worth up to $85 million, meaning Penn State will continue paying his base salary, supplemental pay, and insurance obligations through 2031. Kraft emphasized the program’s strong tradition, significant resources, and state-of-the-art stadium as factors that will attract top coaching candidates.

With connections to coaches like Matt Rhule, who will visit Beaver Stadium with Nebraska in Penn State’s home finale on Nov. 22, the university is poised to find a successor capable of returning the program to championship contention while salvaging the remainder of this difficult season.
