US EditionSteven Tyler Scores Legal Win In Sex Assault of Minor Lawsuit
A Los Angeles judge said 99.9% of the claims were time-barred, but one alleged California encounter can still proceed under the state’s Child Victims Act.
- On Tuesday, Judge Patricia A. Young dismissed 99.9% of the sexual assault lawsuit against Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler, ruling the decades-delayed claims were barred by Massachusetts's statute of limitations.
- Julia Misley, formerly Julia Holcomb, sued in 2022 alleging Tyler abused his fame to manipulate her during their three-year relationship starting in 1973 when she was 16 years old.
- The court allowed one allegation regarding a California trip to proceed, citing the state's Child Victims Act, which opened a lookback window for sexual assault claims that would otherwise be barred by statute of limitations.
- Tyler's lawyer, David Long-Daniels, told Billboard the ruling was "a massive win for Steven Tyler." The remaining California allegation proceeds to trial set for August 31.
- This ruling underscores how state-specific laws like California's Child Victims Act determine which historic abuse claims survive. While most accusations fell outside the seven-year filing window, the single California incident remains actionable due to the state's unique legislative protections.
