Esme Bianco
Game of Thrones star Esme Bianco has filed a lawsuit against the singer Marilyn Manson, setting out graphic allegations of rape, sexual abuse and violence.
According to the papers filed at a California court, Bianco was twice invited to Los Angeles by Manson - real name Brian Warner - with the promise of paid work, only to be subjected to acts of sexual violence.
"Mr Warner raped Ms Bianco in or around May 2011," the lawsuit alleges.
"Mr Warner committed sexual acts with Ms Bianco when she was unconscious or otherwise unable to consent" and "also committed sexual battery against Ms Bianco on multiple occasions," it says.
