The judge reinstated a lawsuit against the shock rocker and under a new law enabling old sexual assault cases to be heard in court.

Manson's lawyer Howard King said the lawsuit would fail.
'While Ms. Walters made several now-irrelevant claims about so-called workplace harassment, she has no pending claims for sexual assault as defined in the penal code, as would be required under the new law, nor is she permitted under the ruling to add new claims,' King said in a statement .
'The undeniable fact is that Mr. Warner never committed any sexual assault,' he added.

In her , Walters accused Manson of using his 'position of power, celebrity and connections' to 'exploit and victimize' her while being employed by him from August 2010 to October 2011.
Walters originally claimed the abuse started in 2010 at a photo shoot after he contacted her over MySpace and said he liked her photography.
The singer allegedly pinned her to a bed, bit her ear, and forced her hand down his underwear. She said she moved away from him and left the shoot feeling 'confused and fear[ful].'
Afterward, she claimed the singer bombarded her with messages and offered her extra pay to stay. Throughout the next year, he allegedly threw dishes at her, threatened suicide and pushed her into a wall during drunken rages, Rolling Stone reported.

'The actor proceeded to kiss Walters and keep her on his lap,' the lawsuit said.

She also said she watched him throw a prop skull at his then-fiancee Wood so hard it left a welt, Rolling Stone reported.
Walters said she 'fully understood' her abuse after entering therapy, learning that Manson's alleged behavior caused her to 'near-immediately repress' the memories.
Manson has repeatedly denied Walters' allegations.The singer and his attorneys claimed her case is in violation of the two-year statute of limitations, as the alleged abuse occurred between 2010 and 2011.
However, Walters has argued that her case is within its timeframe as it falls within the 'delayed discovery' rule that allows plaintiffs, in some cases, to start their time limit after comprehending their loss and injury.
