'Game of Thrones' actor Esmé Bianco sues Marilyn Manson

Actor Esmé Bianco on Friday sued goth rock icon Marilyn Manson, accusing him of sexual assault, NBC News reported.

The federal civil lawsuit, filed in a California court, alleges that Manson, whose real name is Brian Warner, committed multiple violent sexual assaults, a rape and other abuse over the course of years from 2009 to 2013. It also accuses Manson, his former manager Tony Ciulla and Ciulla’s management company of violating human trafficking laws by employing fraud in the form of “promises of work” that were known to be fraudulent and using “force and/or threats of force” to obtain unpaid labor.

The suit was filed as Manson is already under criminal investigation by California authorities. In February, Los Angeles county announced that Manson is being investigated over allegations of sexual assault after several women came forward with public accounts of violence or sexual misconduct.

"While we understand that the criminal investigations are still ongoing, it is vital that we pursue every possible avenue to hold him accountable for the horrific acts he committed," said Jay Ellwanger, Bianco's attorney.

Bianco, a British-American actor, is best known for her recurring role as Ros in the HBO show "Game of Thrones."
