A child sexual assault case, filed against Aerosmith's, Steven Tyler, will proceed to trial in Los Angeles County. ➡️ https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/celebrity/articles/steven-tyler-headed-trial-following-215849335.html A #ChildSexualAssault case filed against #Aerosmith frontman, #StevenTyler, will proceed to trial in #LosAngeles County Superior Court. The singer is accused of #Grooming, #SexuallyAssaulting and #Impregnating 16-year-old, #JuliaMisley, in the 1970s. The suit, first filed in 2022, in Torrance, claims he "used his role, status, and power as a well-known musician and #RockStar"- to exploit #Misley. The complaint also argues #Tyler admitted to the alleged crimes in his own memoir, “Does the Noise in My Head Bother You?,” where he refers to her as his “#TeenBride.” Earlier this week, a judge 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 Tyler toured the country with his band, including to California, according to the complaint. Because of California’s Child Victims Act — a 2020 statute that allowed a “look-back window” where alleged victims can file lawsuits, regardless of a #StatuteOfLimitations — a portion of the case will still be tried. "This is a massive win for Steven Tyler. Today, the Court has dismissed with prejudice 99.9% of the claims against Mr. Tyler, in this case,” Tyler’s lawyer, David Long-Daniels, said in a statement to The Times. “The court has decided that only one night, 50-plus years ago, out of a three-year relationship is allowed to remain.” Steven Tyler is sued for alleged 1970s sexual assault of a teen, ahead of legal deadline. New York has a similar statute that was recently employed by singer Casandra "Cassie" Ventura in her case against Sean Combs. She filed a sex-trafficking and sexual assault lawsuit against the music mogul in 2023, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, just days before the expiration, of a lookback window. The lawsuit against Tyler, who previously appeared as a judge on "#AmericanIdol," claims he and Misley, first met at an Aerosmith concert in 1973. According to the document, he “performed various acts of criminal sexual conduct upon Plaintiff that night.” At the time, Tyler was in his mid-20s and Julia was 16. The alleged encounter was the first of many, the lawsuit claims. In 1974, Tyler was named Misley’s legal guardian and took her on tour with the band. According to the complaint, he described the nature of the relationship in his 2011 memoir, writing, “She was 16, she knew how to nasty … with my bad self being twenty-six, and she barely old enough to drive and sexy as hell, I just fell madly in love with her. … She was my heart’s desire, my partner in crimes of passion. … I was so in love, I almost took a teen bride. I went and slept at her parent’s house, for a couple of nights and her parent’s fell in love with me, signed paper over for me to have #custody, so I wouldn’t get arrested if I took her out of state. I took her on tour with me.” The lawsuit also describes Misley's alleged #pregnancy with Tyler's child, which ended in a “pressured” #abortion. 😩 In previous court documents, Tyler has denied the allegations and attempted to get the case dismissed. “This reflects years of resilience and courage by Ms. Misley, driven by an unwavering pursuit of truth and justice. It is time for justice and for Tyler to be held #accountable by a jury,” Misley’s attorney, Jeff Anderson, said in a statement. The trial is scheduled for August.
