A 'brazen shakedown': Bob Dylan hits back at woman's claim he sexually abused her when she was 12

Bob Dylan has accused a woman who claims he assaulted her when she was just 12 years old of extortion.

The 80-year-old singer’s legal team issued a withering response to the case filed against him last August, dismissing the lawsuit as a “brazen shakedown”.

The lawsuit filed by a woman identifying herself as J C, alleges Dylan assaulted her between April and May 1965 at the Chelsea Hotel in Manhattan when she was just 12 years old.

It claims Dylan aimed to “lower her 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”.

1. A little late...57 years late in fact. Some 69-year-old is running low...

on retirement money I suspect. It'll be hard proving that, but she gave it a shot.

2. She may have better luck suing the aliens that abducted her!

4. Normally, I tend to be biased towards the woman in this type of case

However, in this case- I am trending towards-- no. I feel bad for her. She clearly has something going on. It's a shame- but, I think Bob Dylan is truthful here.

I feel so bad for her- I really do-- but, I don't think it's real. What a shame.

5. She should have sued trump

It's way more believable. Trump abuses everyone.
