 The woman sued Bob Dylan almost half a century later

Bob Dylan, an 80-year-old Nobel Prize-winning lyricist and musician, has been charged with rape and sexual exploitation by an unknown woman nearly half a century ago.

According to the news agency Reuters, in the Supreme Court of New York City, an unidentified woman filed a civil case against Bob Dylan in 1965 for rape, sexual abuse and drug addiction, revealing only her name as JC.

Bob Dylan has denied all the allegations made by the woman and declared them to be liars, while also declaring that all the cases will be faced legally.

The 80-year-old singer has not been charged with criminal offenses in the case filed by the woman in the Supreme Court, but a defamation suit has been filed against her.

It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post.

The woman claims in her lawsuit that Bob Dylan drugged, raped and sexually abused her in 1965 when she was just 12 years old.
According to the lawsuit, Bob Dylan was 20 at the time and drugged the woman for at least six weeks, causing her mental, emotional and physical problems.

The woman who filed the lawsuit is now 56 years old, while the singer is 80 years old and almost half a century has passed since the incident.

The lawsuit was filed by the woman at a time when the state of New York had recently made special amendments to its laws on filing unregistered cases decades ago.

In the United States, people can still file criminal and civil cases of rape and sexual exploitation after a decade and a half, but in some states the time limit for registering such cases is up to a decade.

But in recent years, some states and cities have amended laws to significantly increase the time it takes to register cases of sexual exploitation and rape.

Bob Dylan is one of the most famous singers in the United States and Hollywood. He is the only singer to have been awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. Why was the Nobel Prize in Literature awarded?
Bob Dylan sold the ownership of all 600 of his songs to Hollywood music production house Universal Music in December 2020 for more than 120 million.
