Media storage devices and other items were seized as a search warrant was served on the home of the rocker Marilyn Manson in a months-long investigation of sexual assault and domestic violence, authorities have said.

Manson, 52, whose legal name is Brian Hugh Warner, was not at his home in the Hollywood area when investigators searched it early on Monday, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said in a statement.
