Bob Dylan is being sued by a woman who says the US singer-songwriter sexually abused her in 1965 when she was 12.
Her legal case alleges the rock star "exploited his status as a musician to provide [her] with alcohol and drugs and sexually abuse her multiple times", and used threats of physical violence.
It says the abuse took place at Dylan's apartment in New York's Chelsea Hotel.
Dylan's spokesman told the BBC "the 56-year-old claim is untrue and will be vigorously defended".
The accuser, who is now 68 and lives in the state of Connecticut, is only identified by the initials JC.
She said the abuse took place over a six-week period in April and May 1965.
