Bob Dylan has been accused of sexually abusing a 12-year-old girl after plying her with drugs and alcohol.
The alleged incidents took place in 1965, according to a lawsuit filed Friday in New York Supreme Court. “At certain times the sexual abuse … occurred in his apartment at the Hotel Chelsea,” it reads.
The 65-year-old plaintiff – identified only as “J.C.” – is seeking unspecified damages for assault, battery, false imprisonment and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
“Between April and May of 1965 the defendant, Dylan, exploited his status as a musician by grooming J.C. to gain her trust and to obtain control over her as part of his plan to sexually molest and abuse J.C.,” the lawsuit claims.
J.C. alleges Dylan “befriended and established an emotional connection” with her over a six-week period to “lower [J.C.’s] inhibitions with the object of sexually abusing her, which he did, coupled with the provision of drugs, alcohol and threats of physical violence, leaving her emotionally scarred and psychologically damaged to this day.”
J.C. claims the abuse caused her “permanent and lasting” issues, including depression, anxiety and humiliation.
Reps for Dylan, 81, have not commented on the lawsuit. None of the allegations have been tested in a court.

Seriously from over 55 years ago? How would you ever prove something like this? I’m so sick of these women who come out with this crap years after the fact when there is no way to prove any of this bs!
Wait till it happens to you.
You’re an idiot not all of these women are telling the truth and they make it harder for REAL RAPE victims. I happen to know women who have been raped and they feel just like I do. Speak up when it happens not fricken 55 years later just to collect some money.
If she was 12 and shes now 65, the numbers don’t add up. Hum. That would put her being born in 1953 which would put her about 68. Why would any one file a suit that many year after? Oh well.
Repressed memory. You don’t know squat about rape! Educate yourself before you speak crap.
Maybe you should educate yourself! It’s women like this that hurt those that are raped since most of these are nothing but stories people who need attention or money. So you might want to not speak crap!
There is possibility that someone put her under hypnosis, made suggestions, manipulated her memories!! That could happen. This many years later, does not make sense.
