Authorities searched the home of rocker Marilyn Manson on Monday after allegations of physical and sexual abuse by several women.

Los Angeles County sheriffBԪַs Deputy Eva Jimenez said a search warrant was served on the home of Manson, whose legal name is Brian Hugh Warner. She would give no further details.

The SheriffBԪַs Department said in February that its detectives had begun over reports of domestic violence between 2009 and 2011 in West Hollywood, where he lived at the time.

The women involved were not identified, but several women have publicly alleged this year that they were physically, sexually and emotionally abused by Manson around the time of the incidents under investigation, and some have filed lawsuits.

MansonBԪַs attorney Howard E. King declined immediate comment. Manson has denied the allegations, and King has called them BԪַprovably false.BԪַ

The search of MansonBԪַs home was first reported by TMZ.

The 52-year-old shock rockerBԪַs former fiancee, , named him as her abuser for the first time in an Instagram post in February.

Manson called WoodBԪַs statements BԪַhorrible distortions of reality.BԪַ

In May, sued Marilyn Manson in federal court, alleging sexual, physical and emotional abuse. Bianco says that Manson violated human trafficking law by bringing her to California from England for non-existent roles in music videos and movies.

Manson deprived Bianco of food and sleep, locked her in a bedroom, whipped her, gave her electric shocks and threatened to enter her room and rape her during the night, the lawsuit alleges.

BiancoBԪַs attorney said she also was interviewed by law enforcement.

And MansonBԪַs former assistant accused him of sexual assault, battery and harassment in her own lawsuit, saying he used BԪַhis position of power, celebrity and connections to exploit and victimize during her employment.BԪַ

Manson emerged as a musical star in the mid-1990s, known as much for courting public controversy as for hit songs like BԪַThe Beautiful PeopleBԪַ and hit albumBԪַs like 1996BԪַs BԪַAntichrist SuperstarBԪַ and 1998BԪַs BԪַMechanical Animals.BԪַ
