New leads in Marilyn Manson investigation spark political debate in LA County DA race

Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón is reviewing new leads in the sexual abuse investigation against Marilyn Manson. This comes amid criticism from actress Esme Bianco, who claims Gascón's office has delayed the case. Bianco's concerns were amplified as she prepared to appear with Nathan Hochman, Gascón's opponent in the upcoming election. Gascón stated that media interest prompted the update, emphasizing the need to protect the investigation's integrity. Gascón confirmed that his office has been in contact with Bianco and other victims. He expressed hope that the new information would help speed up the investigation, while Manson continues to deny any wrongdoing.
