The 2021 accused Dylan of befriending the plaintiff, “to lower her inhibitions with the object of sexually abusing her, which he did, coupled with the provision of drugs, alcohol and threats of physical violence, leaving her emotionally scarred and psychologically damaged to this day.”

In a statement after the filing last year, a spokesperson for Dylan said “the 56-year-old claim is untrue and will be vigorously defended.”

Dylan was born Robert Allen Zimmerman in Duluth, Minnesota, in 1940.

He has sold more than 125 million records during his career. Some of his most famous songs include “The Times They Are a-Changin ‘,” “Like a Rolling Stone” and “Blowin’ in the Wind.”
