I'm older than the plaintiff in this suit, seems she can take care of things quite well - she could find a lawyer.

"Crooner?" They obviously have the wrong man.

Evidence like this is not credible. Sorry sweetheart. If you had, like the Cosby accusers, actually made complaints at the time, or spoken to friends, so there was some sort of timely record, this accusation might have meant something.

Whatever happened to statues of limitation? I know they got rid of them for murder. Did I miss a law change?

Dylan's songs (even one of them), more than make up for whatever injury he did to this probably fictiicious memory, likely lying and now dried up old harpie. As Shakespeare said, to paraphrase. "screw all the lawyers!. The world would be so much better without them. As well as most of the politicians.

Fifty-six years later. No!
I am tired---- and disbelieving--- of these complaints decades later.

She was 12? He had her for 6 weeks?
Not one word in the article about parents or how they met or how a random musician just sort of got a 12 year old to drug up and rape for 6 weeks in his hotel and his apartment with no witnesses.

I can't stand this hack of a 'singer', but trying to pull this crap 55 years past the event is nothing but trash. I understand that NY has some law that waived all statute of limitations for this kind of thing that is just about to expire, so this seems like nothing but a Hail Mary for some quick cash.
You blew it, lady. The time to jump up and down about this was when it happened.

TBH as Dylan aged, he came across as more and more of a lech. Little things here and there just seemed to add up. I'd guess that wasn't a late development, he always liked the ladies. So yeah, altogether possible but cripes, what is this poo?

Dylan supposedly took to Christianity some years ago. Don’t know whether it took or lasted.

Throw the case out. If this so called victim can't come forward earlier than 50 years, then too bad for her.

I'll wager she's a mental case. I've seen that type before.

In 1964 Dylan releases "The Times They Are a Changing". Both the title song and album are hits.
In 1965 Dylan releases two albums: Bringing It All Back Home and highway 61 Revisited.
In May 1965 Dylan tours Britain and sells out Albert Hall.
Dylan has arrived and this 25 year old is one of the young gods of rock with the likes of Rolling Stones, The Animals, The Yardbirds and The Beatles.
These are the times of flower power, free love, and anything goes and his world is full of young willing vixens at his every beck and call. But wait, back in his Chelsea Hotel apartment, Dylan has a special 12-year old that he's spending weeks to groom. Why that sounds perfectly sensible, I believe her, guilty!
I like this "Boots of Spanish Leather" cover by Mandolin Orange. Take a few quiet minutes and enjoy the story.

I'm no fan and he can't sing - but I don't believe this gold digger. She may "have details" that Dylan may corroborate - but this quickly boils down to "he said - she said."

Apparently, New York has removed the statute of limitations for minors alleging sex crimes. Never mind that this accuser has been an adult for the past 50 years. How can anyone defend against an allegation like this?
