A lawsuit filed in New York City alleges that legendary singer-songwriter Bob Dylan sexually assaulted a 12-year-old girl in 1965, according to court documents filed Friday.

When NewsMadura reached out to him, a JC lawyer declined to say how she met Dylan and declined to comment on the nature of sexual abuse claims.

“The complaint speaks for itself. We will prove all charges in a court of law,” attorney Daniel Isaacs said. “The complaint was made after much investigation and thorough investigation and there is no doubt that she was with him at the Hotel Chelsea.”

JC, who now lives in Greenwich, Connecticut, said in the lawsuit that she has suffered and continues to suffer “severe and grave mental distress, fear, humiliation and shame, as well as economic losses” and is demanding compensatory and punitive damages from Dylan.

The lawsuit was filed a day before the New York Child Victims Act expired on August 14, 2021. JC’s attorney told NewsMadura that the lawsuit was filed under the law and that it “gave her an opportunity to seek redress.”
