Bob Dylan is being sued for sexual abuse of a 12-year-old girl in 1965.

allegedly groomed a 12-year-old girl for sex and sexually abused her in his New York City pad back in 1965 when she was underage ... this according to a new lawsuit.

The"Like A Rolling Stone" singer is being sued by a woman who currently lives in Connecticut, who claims he plied her with booze and drugs before sexually abusing her inside his swanky Chelsea Hotel apartment way back in the day. According to the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, Dylan's accuser claims she was only 12 years old when he started grooming her for sex, using his celebrity to gain her trust and exert control over her as part of a plan to sexually abuse and molest her.

The woman claims the alleged abuse left her emotionally scarred and psychologically damaged ... more than 56 years after the alleged incidents. In the docs, she says she's suffered from depression, anxiety and humiliation as a result of the alleged abuse. She's suing Dylan for battery, assault, infliction of emotional distress and false imprisonment ... and she's going after him for damages.

But ya wanna cancel Dababy , HA FOH these mofos playing wit the babies

1965?!?!?! How does that still stand up in court?!?

ThePerezHilton They are coming out of the woodworks.

There should be a time frame where after a certain amount of years it’s no longer non prosecutable. This happened in 1965, just throw the case out the window.

Really 1965 that f*cker probably doesn’t even remember that far back .

Gloria allred is probably patrolling the old folks homes offering butter scotch candy's and qvc gift cards to anyone thats willing to claim the same. In a few weeks 20 women will come out in their walkers for mone..i mean justice.

The comments in here are so stupid. Suing someone for sexual abuse is an incredibly dehumanizing process. Even if she were to win, she'd still lose. Of course it takes these women all these years (ESPECIALLY when it happened in the '60s, you eggheads) to come forward.

Has she been in a coma for 56 years? 😂

LMFAOOOO

Omg 😱 are you kidding me right now this has to be joke right being accused from 1965 and they waited all the way from 1965 to 2021 to say they have been sexually abused omg 🤦‍♂️ this is the most craziest news I have ever heard

Shocking

This happened 55yrs ago and she coming out now. I’m sure she looking for some type of retirement package

I don’t even acknowledge this if I am his counsel.

DOA

He's a snow-roach so no punishment for him

Ok, I’ll F’ing say it-there should be a statute of limitations on sexual assault cases.

he should just follow TFG’s playbook: ignore it, & it will go away... (or, get Pill 💊 Cosby’s judge 👨‍⚖️ & you can be sent home 🏠 for good behavior...)

Not surprising, 1960s were a different time and people didn't really care for this type of behavior

Good

Huh...guess he should have married her.

“Lay, girly, lay Lay across my big brass bed”…(Original 1965 lyrics)

56 years ago and she's just now bringing a lawsuit, seems suspicious to me and very hard to prove after all that time.

100% sure, settlement will reach a very nice amount.

I guess she’s looking to subsidize her retirement income!

Let's all make a list of shit that supposedly happened decades ago. Rent is almost due anyways, perfect timing

before you all reply saying 'what an asshole!' just remember, it's fake. we can joke about it, but just know it's fake.

This person is the definition of Internet Explorer

Who?

He was good friends with Allen Ginsburg who was a member of NAMBLA.

Gonna spend more money on lawyer fees than anything you'd get out of this lawsuit...

Nothing new since tons of people sue a bunch of famous people for a bunch of outlandish stuff; will wait to see evidence on this one.

I'm not attracted to any females younger than 25. I'm just not. Maybe if I met a very interesting 23 year old I might make an exception.

If Cosby doesn’t get a pass, neither should Dylan.

Omg. Are we going dig up Elvis for messing with lil girls?

How many years ago was that,. Yeah ok 😅

WHAT THE HELL?

ended cardi

Their goes his legacy, you know the lefts going to ditch him for that, even just the accusation.

Blame Dylan farrow for all this shenanigans

‘Cuz nothing says “guilty” like waiting 50+ years. NO WAY

Gives it the hell up losers

That is the world we live in now, if Bill Cosby can spend 2 yrs in Jail for some consent Sexual touchings for more than 30yrs Ago, am sure this One is no different.

1965 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

At this point every black person should sue for lynching and slavery.

Okay,1965. Who else was famous? This is just the beginning. 1966 next!

It's NEVER TOO LATE TO EXPOSE A RAPIST.

56 fn years ago?…ya ok

He did Edie Sedgwick wrong. Used her, made her abort, tossed her aside.

stop 1965 😂🤣

Find that hard to believe....

You’re the worst. 55 years later ! Stop it.

Good he tried denying being with Edie Sedgwick

Really 1965... R u ficking kidding

How old was he in 1965 lol

Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for people being held accountable for this behavior. But after all this time There’s no way it can be proven. It’s just her word against his.

Wow! Really! Who was it? and Why Now? Has the statue of limitations expired or is it still in place? Well if it can to happen to Bill Cosby it can happen to Bob Dylan. Oh Well I will watch to see how this one play's itself out in the media.

These chicks remind me of Rip Van Winkle after they allegedly got touched go home falls asleep and awake 56 years to say he rape me go back to sleep 🤡🤡

He’s a weird dude… I work a summer concert venue & where he played a few yrs ago we were told not to make eye contact w/ him or say anything to him!!!

Who remembers …

Lawsuit is past expiration date . Sorry bruh

noooo not Bob Dylan

oh no!

1965?

Wtf....was he 12 as well? Lol

🎵Lay, lady lay…🎶

Back when it was socially acceptable

took yall mfs this long

It is disgusting how many people mindlessly believe this without a shred of evidence. I don't give 2 craps about Dylan or his music but if you want me to believe someone is a pedo, you have to bring more than a 56 year old accusation with no evidence.

🔥Her mother let her run around for 6 weeks, alone? 12 years old. Someone else needs to take responsibility!🎵

1965...I'm sorry...I get that ppl go through things & it's traumatic enough going through the experience let alone having to re-tell it but sexual assaults are already scrutinized. There's a clock on these things, maybe you can't go to the police but get checked out, tell someone

He wasn’t even on the same continent on the dates in question

1965.....

Really!

another fucked up genius ? sad

Almost 60 years ago… as a woman libber of the 60’s, we encouraged women to come forward!!!!!!!!!

No limitations on this? I mean, my step dad was a piece of shit, but he's dead now, YAY. I believe her, I totally understand why she never accused then, she wouldn't have been believed-like now, but I don't get how someone can sue now, way later.

Lmao he was on tour in England. These dishonest women are really getting out of hand… taking advantage of men

Come on…..

Does this EVER end Always someone coming out of the woodwork when they see massive payouts. Holding people to ransom as one word against another and usually the complainant is believed by default.

This coming from grandma good pussy?! Foh

Ummm 🤔 1965? Really!? This is crazy! BEFORE I was even born. Gee whiz. This is getting out of hand.

That’s a joke !🤯

😮😮😮😮

BadNewsBot1 I don't believe this. She probably met him maybe even slept with him most likely a willing participant....

I'm an RN, my wife a school psychologist. I read the 56 year headline out loud and we both started cracking up laughing. IBelieveBob

Too late she took the L move on

60 fucking years ago. Go away................

Proof or it didn’t happen 🤷🏼‍♀️

They wana wait damn bear 60 years to report this crime?! Why?!

56 YEARS LATER?!?!?! 🤦🏻‍♂️

How? 🤦🏾‍♂️

Probably past any statute of limitations.

He should be sued for making shit music.

Statute of limitations..... Sue your parents for letting you around an adult with no supervision

1965? What? How is the police supposed to verify the evidence after HALF A CENTURY?

This woman at this point seems to be attention-seeking because she had all those decades to say something. I am not blaming the victim but I'll be damned if I don't raise an eyebrow. It really seems suspicious to me.

1965 ?

After the me too movement and all of these women coming out of the woodworks for pass crimes I feel like she missed her boat and her money is getting kinda tight so she needed to make a move. You mean to tell me all of the 70s, '80s, 90s & 2000s this woman hasn't said anything?

I knew he was a creeper on top of being a terrible musician.

Really hope this isn't true.

The sad part about this is I bet it’s 100% and this poor girl never felt comfortable coming forward and it’s affected her entire life.

1965😂😂😂😂 man give her ass a check and keep it moving. This me too shit is getting outta hand

another illuminati humiliation ritual. Hes obviously did this to sell his soul and was blackmailed his entire career with this info. Now that hes near his deathbed his contract his over and is now being thrown to the dogs.

If it happened you should have told your mother and father that same day not 56 years later.
