Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler Heading to Court After Being Accused of Child Sexual Assault, More
Aerosmith rocker Steven Tyler is finally getting his day in court to face horrific claims involving a minor.
The former American Idol judge is accused of grooming and impregnating his “almost teen bride” more than 50 years ago — when he was 25 and she was just 16.
Julia Misley filed her civil suit under a California law that temporarily suspends the statute of limitations for 1970s-era sex attack allegations — and now a judge has ruled the case will go to trial in August, according to SF Gate.
In her filing, Julia claims the now 78-year-old “Dream On” singer was a lust-crazed fiend who convinced her mother to give him custody so he could legally take her over state lines.
Her suit also argues that Steven admitted to the alleged crimes when he wrote about an underaged girl he called Diana in his 2011 memoir, Does the Noise in My Head Bother You?
“She was sixteen, knew how to nasty,” the rock god wrote. “Her parents fell in love with me, signed a paper over for me to have custody …
“Being twenty-six and she — sexy as hell — a cute skinny little tomboy dressed up as Little Bo Peep. She was my partner in crimes of passion … I was so in love I almost took a teen bride.”
A judge has dismissed most of the case, citing the statute of limitations in Massachusetts where the pair lived during their three-year relationship.
But they allegedly crossed state lines while Aerosmith toured and since California law allows a “lookback window” that suspends the statute of limitations, a portion of the case will be tried.
“This is a massive win for Steven Tyler,” said his lawyer, David Long-Daniels, per the outlet. “The court has decided that only one night, 50-plus years ago, out of a three-year relationship is allowed to remain.”
In previous court documents, Steven has denied the allegations and attempted to get the entire case dismissed.
But Julia’s attorney, Jeff Anderson, said: “It is time for justice and for Tyler to be held accountable by a jury.”
