Actress Esmé Bianco is accusing singer Marilyn Manson of sexually assaulting, coercing through drugs and beating her multiple times during their relationship a decade ago, according to a lawsuit filed Friday.
Bianco, who played Ros in the "Game of Thrones" series, alleges that when she went to Los Angeles to film a video for one of Manson's songs in February 2009, the artist -- whose real name is Brian Warner -- gave her drugs and alcohol, but no food for four days, "tied her to a prayer kneeler," "beat her with a whip" and "electrocuted her," the lawsuit says. Bianco and Warner began a consensual sexual relationship in May 2009, but "Mr. Warner bruised and bit Ms. Bianco and publicly groped her against her consent," according to the lawsuit.
Janet Mills and her allies are counting on a gender gap to narrow Platner’s wide lead ahead of the June 9 primary to decide who will face incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins. They are betting that the unfiltered style that has brought Platner widespread attention as someone who could help Democrats reach young men will backfire with women.

As a shrinking number of Transportation Security Administration agents work to keep hourslong security lines moving despite not being paid, President Donald Trump stepped into the fray Saturday, announcing he will send Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to airports by Monday if Congress doesn’t agree to a plan to end the partial government shutdown.
