That's missing the forest for the trees because that isn't relevant to the accusations at hand.
ERW was 18 when she met 37-year-old Manson...
How many 18-year-olds do you know who make rational decisions 100% of the time?
Who hasn't fallen in love with someone and then, later on, realizes this person wasn't who you thought they were and you found yourself in a toxic relationship?
Listen, if this was just a case of Manson potentially being a shitty boyfriend by cheating on her and said some mean things to her then that would be one thing. But he is not being accused of being a shitty boyfriend.
The things he is being accused of are actual felonies... the most serious class of criminal offense.
This should be (and hopefully will be) investigated which is what BOTH Evan (and the other women) and Marilyn Manson should want if they truly have the courage of their convictions and are willing to accept the consequences of the end result.
How much you believe in something is manifested only by what you’re willing to risk for it.
