The lawsuit claims the victim was 12 at the time.
The filing alleges that the woman, listed in the court documents as"J.C.," was"a victim of one or more criminal sex acts" by a then 24 year-old Dylan between the months of April and May in 1965. The lawsuit goes on to allege that"the defendant, Dylan, exploited his status as a musician by grooming J.C. to gain her trust and to obtain control over her as part of his plan to sexually molest and abuse J.C.
A spokesperson for Dylan said in a statement"the 56-year-old claim is untrue and will be vigorously defended." An attorney for the plaintiff, David W. Issacs, responded toby saying,"the complaint speaks for itself, and we shall prove our allegations in a court of law." Despite taking place almost 60 years ago, the plaintiff was able to file the civil complaint thanks to New York's Child Victims Act that was passed in 2019. The legislation gave victims of childhood sexual abuse a one year window, which was extended as a result of the pandemic, to file suit against their attackers regardless of when it took place.
