Shock Rocker Marilyn Manson Settles Suit

[KG]

DETROIT (AP) -- A civil lawsuit accusing shock rocker Marilyn Manson of sexual assault has been dismissed after the two sides reached a settlement, according to an attorney for the plaintiff.

Security guard Joshua Keasler was working on the stage during a July 2001 performance in Detroit when Manson allegedly approached him, wrapped his legs around the guard's neck and gyrated against him while wearing only a leather thong and panty hose.

Keasler had sued Manson in U.S. District Court in Detroit for sexual assault and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Both sides agreed not to release terms of the settlement, Keasler's attorney John D. Nickola said in a statement. The lawsuit was dismissed Jan. 28.

"I can now go on with my life and try to close this unhappy chapter," Keasler said.

6. Big old nasty bouncer

in shock over Manson. Yeah, right.

I've seen Manson more times than any other artist (something like 13 times). I wish I hadn't missed him this last time around. I need to start checking his website again. Usually he sweeps through the midwest twice each tour.
