A jury on Monday (9/9) ruled against a security guard who filed battery charges against Marilyn Manson following an incident at 2001 concert.

During the concert, Manson allegedly pulled the guard's head toward his crotch and gyrated against him. Manson didn't deny the charge, but argued that the incident didn't amount to battery.

"The path to truth is obscured by frivolous lawsuits, but it's lit by the objectivity of a jury that sees the difference between entertainment and assault," Manson said in a statement. "I feel completely vindicated and I'd like to thank the jury and judge for their thoughtful verdict."
