Prosecutors said the allegations against Manson exceeded the statute of limitations and they could not prove them "beyond a reasonable doubt".

It was not clear whose allegations and what conduct the investigation centered. But Manson, born Brian Warner, has faced several allegations of sexual misconduct, including from ex-fiancee Evan Rachel Wood and Game of Thrones actress Esme Bianco, who have accused Manson of sexual assault and abuse.

Controversial musician Marilyn Manson will not be charged for domestic violence or sexual assault, the Los Angeles DA's office confirmed.
