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.

TIKTOK AGREEMENT EXPECTED TO BE FINALIZED THURSDAY, TREASURY SECRETARY SCOTT BESSENT SAYS. (PHOTO).


 TikTok agreement expected to be finalized Thursday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Sunday that the TikTok deal announced last month is expected to be finalized on Thursday when President Trump meets with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Bessent, speaking from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, where President Trump is on a three-country Asia trip, said the agreement is fully settled and only awaits formal completion by the two leaders at the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in South Korea. “We reached a final deal on TikTok. We reached one in Madrid, and as of today, all the details are ironed out,” Bessent said. He clarified that he is not involved in the commercial aspects of the deal, but his role was securing Chinese approval, which he said was successfully achieved.

Last month, President Trump signed an executive order allowing TikTok to continue operating in the U.S. under a new corporate structure with American investors. The deal, a “qualified divestiture,” fulfills a law passed by Congress in April 2024 requiring TikTok’s China-based parent company, ByteDance, to divest or face a ban. Enforcement of the law was delayed by 120 days to allow the agreement to be finalized.

The U.S.-based joint venture will be majority-owned and controlled by American investors, with a board dominated by Americans. ByteDance and its affiliates will retain less than 20% ownership. Oracle is among the American investors with a stake in the new entity.

Republican Rep. John Moolenaar of Michigan, chairman of the House China committee, voiced caution over continued Chinese ownership. “As long as the Chinese are involved, I think there’s reason for distrust,” he said, noting concerns about ByteDance’s remaining stake and potential influence from the Chinese Communist Party. He added, however, that he trusts the president is following the bipartisan law to make TikTok accessible to Americans under the new structure.
