Manson's lawyer, Howard King, said on his behalf: "I did not have sex with Owen on this set, and she knows it's the truth."

He called Owen's claims "written imaginary" and that she was "completely coherent" during the filming.

"The filming of the virtual sex scene took several hours with several shots at different angles and several long pauses to set up the camera."

Manson added in his response that no actress other than Owen Rachel Wood could have participated in the clip in her place, as "it was her inspiration".

She now describes the incident as "forcing paid sexual action on false pretenses," which she said was "just the beginning" of Marilyn Manson's years of violence.

This is not the first time Marilyn Manson has been charged with rape or sexual abuse - already 12 women have accused him of such acts, including actress Asma Bianco ("Game of Thrones") and his former personal assistant.
