Bob Dylan Sued For Allegedly Sexually Abusing 12-Year-Old Girl In 1965

The lawsuit alleges that Bob Dylan abused the girl over a six-week period between April and May 1965.

Bob Dylan has been sued in a New York court by a woman who says the US rock and folk legend sexually abused her almost 60 years ago when she was 12. The lawsuit filed Friday alleges that Dylan abused the girl, referred to in court documents as J.C., over a six-week period between April and May 1965. It says Dylan "exploited his status as a musician to provide J.C. with alcohol and drugs and sexually abuse her multiple times." The suit also accused Dylan, who turned 80 in May, of physically threatening the girl.
