The lawyer for the woman accusing Bob Dylan of allegedly sexually assaulting her in 1965 – when she was only 12 years old – has spoken out in response to the newest claims that Dylan was not even in New York City at the time of the alleged incidents.
Daniel W. Isaacs, the lawyer for the now 68-year-old woman — who is only referred to as J.C. in the legal documents — cited several gaps in Dylan’s 1965 tour schedule when the musician allegedly returned to his New York City apartment.
“There were two weeks between shows in April,” Isaacs told the Daily Mail.
The accuser claims some of the alleged incidents took place in the singer's apartment at the Chelsea Hotel.
According to the bombshell lawsuit filed on Friday, Dylan “exploited his status as a musician to provide her with alcohol and drugs and sexually abuse her multiple times over a six-week period between April and May 1965.”
On Monday, a spokesman for the 80-year-old released a statement saying, “This 56-year-old claim is untrue and will be vigorously defended.”
