Woman sues Steven Tyler, alleging child sex assault in 1970s

  • Updated

A woman who has previously said Steven Tyler had a sexual relationship with her when she was a teenager is suing the Aerosmith frontman for sexual assault, sexual battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The lawsuit was filed by Julia Misley on Tuesday under a 2019 California law that gave adult victims of childhood sexual assault a three-year window to file lawsuits related to prior assaults. The Associated Press does not name victims of sexual assault. But Misley has released a statement and says the lawsuit relates to her experiences with Tyler. He is listed as a "John Doe" in the lawsuit. His representatives did not immediately return requests for comment.
