Aerosmith front man Steven Tyler accused of sexually assaulting teen in 1970s, lawsuit claims

LOS ANGELES -- A woman has filed a lawsuit against Aerosmith lead singer Steven Tyler, alleging sexual assault, coercion of an abortion and involuntary infamy in the 1970s when she was a minor and he was in his mid-20s.



Attorneys for Julia Misley, formerly known as Julia Holcomb, filed the lawsuit on Tuesday in Los Angeles County. The suit was filed under the California Child Victims Act, which allows survivors of childhood sexual abuse to file civil cases. The three-year "lookback" window ends Saturday.



In a statement, Misley said the change in the law encouraged her to take legal action.



"I want this action to expose an industry that protects celebrity offenders, to cleanse and hold accountable an industry that both exploited and allowed me to be exploited for years, along with so many other nave and vulnerable kids and adults," Misley said in a statement.

Julia Holcomb filed papers in a Los Angeles court accusing him of sexual assault, sexual battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Holcomb is able to sue Tyler, 74, after California temporarily waived statutes of limitations for childhood sexual abuse allegations.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (BP) — The mother of rock star Steven Tyler’s aborted baby continues to advocate for unborn children after writing a 5,000-word account of her experience last year in LifeSite News.

Among the upcoming speaking engagements for Julia Holcomb, now a mother of seven, is a Life Legal Defense Foundation dinner event Nov. 17 in Santa Clara, Calif.

More than 35 years after her abortion, Holcomb recounted the story of her relationship with Tyler, lead singer of the rock band Aerosmith and a former “American Idol” judge, in the 5,000-word account.

She became Tyler’s girlfriend in 1973 when she was only 16. Her mother gave guardianship of Holcomb to Tyler, enabling her to travel with him across state lines on the band’s tours. He requested she have his child and proposed marriage to her after she became pregnant in 1975.

Tyler changed his mind, according to Holcomb, and pressured Holcomb to abort their child, who turned out to be a boy. In recalling the abortion, Holcomb wrote, “My baby had one defender in life; me, and I ca
