Steven Tyler is being accused of sexual assault by a woman who says she was 16 at the time

A woman who claims she had a sexual relationship with Steven Tyler when she was 16 in 1973 has filed a lawsuit against the Aerosmith frontman, Rolling Stone reports. The lawsuit, filed under the California Child Victims Act, charges Tyler with assault, battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Under the act, the statute of limitations for survivors of child abuse was temporarily lifted. This window closes in less than 72 hours by the turn of the year 2023.

Tyler is not named in the lawsuit, but prosecutor Julia Holcomb has spoken publicly about what she said was her experience with Tyler, who was about 25 at the time, and which she said lasted three years. In turn, Tyler writes in his memoirs that he “almost took a young bride” whose parents “fell in love with me, and signed a paper giving me custody so I wouldn’t be arrested if I took her out of the did not take state.” would fetch I took her on tour.”

Holcomb claims Tyler pumped her up on drugs and alcohol, had sex with her and, yes, took her on tour. She became pregnant with his child at the age of 17, and the singer persuaded her to have an abortion.

Interestingly, Holcomb’s lawsuit is related to John Does numbers 1 through 50, so more shoes may drop as the lawsuit progresses.

Aerosmith canceled eight shows of its Las Vegas residency in May because Tyler had to go back to rehab. Earlier this month, the band canceled the last two residency dates due to an undisclosed illness Tyler was suffering from.
