Nobel winner and singer-songwriter Bob Dylan has been sued over the alleged sexual assault of a 12-year-old girl in 1965.
The lawsuit alleges that Dylan gave the 12-year-old drugs and alcohol before proceeding to abuse her.
Documents filed in the Manhattan supreme court state the singer "befriended and established an emotional connection with the plaintiff" and allegedly groomed her over the course of six weeks in April and May 1965.
The plaintiff, known in the lawsuit as "JC" is now 68 and living in Connecticut.
She alleges the singer, who was 23 or 24 years old at the time, "exploited his status as a musician by grooming JC to gain her trust and to obtain control over her as part of his plan to sexually molest and abuse" her.
