A woman who accused Bob Dylan of sexual abuse has dropped her lawsuit against the musician.
The 81-year-old music icon was accused of grooming and abusing a woman – who was named only as J.C. – in 1965 when she was 12 years old.
The ‘Shelter from the Storm’ singer’s legal counsel, Orin Snyder, declared the case “over” and blasted it as a “lawyer-driven scam.”tap here to see other videos from our teamIn a statement, he said: “This case is over. It is outrageous that it was ever brought in the first place. Documents filed in response to an amended complaint filed last December stated: “This case – based on plaintiff’s alleged interactions with Bob Dylan more than 56 years ago – is a brazen shakedown masquerading as a lawsuit.tap here to see other videos from our team“It was filed in bad faith for the improper purpose of extracting a huge pay out on the threat of negative publicity. The allegation is false, malicious, reckless and defamatory. Mr. Dylan will not be extorted.
The initial suit claimed the timeframe was April and May of 1965 but the amended complaint changed the time period to “the spring” of that year, after it was noted Dylan’s tour schedule and other commitments meant he wasn’t in New York City during that time.tap here to see other videos from our teamThe ‘Blowin’ in the Wind’ singer’s legal team argued in their new filing that their client was an “easy mark” who J.C.’s lawyers “hoped to profit” from.
