According to reports, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department plans to speak with Bianco, 38, to determine whether 52-year-old Manson – real name Brian Warner – should face criminal charges, after the actress alleged in court documents first obtained by RadarOnline.com that Manson drugged, raped, and tortured her during their three-year relationship.

However, Manson's attorney, Howard E. King, said Bianco's accusations of sexual, physical, and emotional abuse are "provably false."

"To be clear, this suit was only filed after my client refused to be shaken down by Ms. Bianco and her lawyer and give in to their outrageous financial demands based on conduct that simply never occurred," he said. "We will vigorously contest these allegations in court and are confident that we will prevail."

The suit adds that, "most horrifyingly," Manson "locked Ms. Bianco in the bedroom, tied her to a prayer kneeler, and beat her with a whip that" Manson said "was utilized by the Nazis. He also electrocuted her."

She claims to have never seen any footage from the alleged "shoot." Bianco eventually left the home and continued on in a relationship with Manson.

Bianco is ultimately suing Manson over the Trafficking Victim's Protection Act (TVPA), saying he "employed fraud to bring" her to the United States. She is seeking unspecified damages for the alleged sexual assault and sexual battery.

Bianco's federal lawsuit pertains not only to Manson but to his former manager, Tony Ciulla, and his management company, Ciulla Management, which dropped him earlier this year after 25 years of working together.

Though Bianco's filing did not indicate whether she had ever reported the alleged abuse to officials, law enforcement personnel have had their eyes on the rocker since February, when another one of his ex-girlfriends, Westwood star Evan Rachel Wood, publicly accused him of "grooming" her when she was a teenager before "horrifically" abusing her.

"I was brainwashed and manipulated into submission," she said of their three-year relationship, which ended in 2010.

Four other women came forward after Wood spoke out to accuse Manson of similar abuse.

Manson has not yet been charged with any crimes.
