Mass murderer Charles Manson has gotten a license to marry a 26-year-old woman who visits him in prison.<\/p>\n
The marriage license obtained Monday by The Associated Press was issued Nov. 7 for the 80-year-old Manson and Afton Elaine Burton, who left her Midwestern home nine years ago and moved to Corcoran, California — the site of the prison — to be near Manson. She maintains several websites advocating for Manson’s innocence.<\/p>\n
The license does not specify a wedding date and indicates the couple has 90 days to get married or they will have to reapply.<\/p>\n
Burton, who goes by the name “Star,” told the AP that she and Manson will be married next month.<\/p>\n
“Y’all can know that it’s true,” she said. “It’s going to happen.”<\/p>\n
“I love him,” she added. “I’m with him. There’s all kinds of things.”<\/p>\n
Burton gave an interview a year ago to Rolling Stone magazine in which she said she and Manson planned to marry. But Manson, who became notorious in 1969 as the leader of a roving “family” of young killers, was less certain about tying the knot.<\/p>\n
“That’s a bunch of garbage,” Manson said in the December 2013 interview. “That’s trash We’re playing that for public consumption.”<\/p>\n
Asked Monday about those comments, Burton said, “None of that’s true,” adding that they’re waiting for the prison to complete their paperwork.<\/p>\n
California Department of Corrections spokeswoman Terry Thornton confirmed to the AP that the license had been transmitted to the prison.<\/p>\n
