Ms Walters' legal team filed a complaint to the Superior Court of Los Angeles County on Tuesday.

It claimed Mr Manson was a terrifying and violent boss who told friends they could grope and kiss Ms Walters, and made her work for 48 hours in a row.

The rock star's legal team have told US media he "vehemently denies" assault.

The BBC has contacted Mr Manson's representatives for a comment.

Ms Walters' lawyers wrote that the singer - real name Brian Warner - "used his position of power, celebrity and connections to exploit and victimise" his former employee, who was an aspiring photographer at the time.

Mr Manson, they claimed, lured Ms Walters "into employment with promises of artistic collaborations and creative opportunities".

They added that "he was looking to create an environment where [Ms Walters] was subjected to personal and professional sexual exploitation, manipulation and psychological abuse".

The court documents said Ms Walters met the star in 2010, when she was 26, after he messaged her MySpace to say he liked her work.

She said she visited his Hollywood home to look at his paintings and discuss a collaboration, and tried to leave at around 2am but was told the car park was locked until 7am.

It is claimed Mr Manson then asked Ms Walters to do photoshoot, at one point requesting that she take off her shirt. When he finished, he is alleged to have sexually assaulted her on a bed.

Mr Manson later asked Ms Walters to be his personal assistant, offering to double her salary while promising art projects and travel, her lawyers said.https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-57169501
