While I agree that courts are responsible for the allegations regarding Marilyn Manson's alleged psycholocial and sexual abuse of women, when Gavin read the allegations I believe it could be true.

And now comes my unpopular opinion: I have been in toxic relatinships, most woman have (men too), and their testimonies fit with the usual modus operandi of narcissists. However, psychological damage at the moment cannot be "measured", being therefore almost impossible to prove and thus makes no sense to go to the police unless it becomes physical. There is also a feeling of shame around it, no one likes admitting they've been in an abusive/toxic relationship and allowed their s.o. to treat them like shit and even transgress certain limits.

So, while I understand why we should not make any judgement based solely on the allegations of one side, I know why popular opinion is ready to accept them as true. Specially in the case of the woman who claims to have been subjected to actual abuse and torture.
