For the second time in four months, Marilyn Manson has been accused of rubbing his crotch on a security guard's head. David M. Diaz of Anoka County, Minnesota, filed a $75,000 civil suit against Manson on Tuesday in a Minneapolis federal court, according to a court spokesperson. Diaz, a security guard working the front barricade at Minneapolis' Orpheum Theatre, said the controversial rocker grabbed his head, held his hips against it and gyrated. The incident allegedly took place October 27, 2000, during the first show of Manson's Guns, God and Government tour.

Diaz filed the suit because he’s been the subject of ridicule and is considered "a joke" by everyone who knows of the incident, according to his lawyer, James Kaster.
