Steven Tyler is asking for a sexual assault lawsuit filed against him in December 2022 to be dismissed.

Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler denied all allegations made against him in a recent sexual assault lawsuit. Tyler filed a response to the lawsuit on March 28 in Los Angeles Superior Court.The lawsuit was brought against him by Julia Misley, who accused the singer of sexual assault, sexual battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Steven Tyler has denied all allegations from a recent lawsuit accusing him of sexually assaulting a minor.The accusations were first raised in December, in which Julia Misley – who was known as Julia Holcomb at the time – accused the Aerosmith singer of sexual assault and battery dating back to the 1970s, when she was a minor.In the suit, she claimed that they were both involved in a sexual relationship for about three years and that the frontman convinced her mother to grant him guardianship over her when she was 16.The lawsuit also referenced Tyler’s memoirs, in which he recalled that he “almost took a teen bride” and described how her parents “signed a paper over for me to have custody, so I wouldn’t get arrested if I took her out of state.”It further alleged that Tyler “coerced and persuaded” Misley into believing the relationship was a “romantic love affair”, and detailed claims that he demanded she get an abortion in 1975, when she was pregnant with his child.Now, following the accusations, the Aerosmith frontman – represented by attorney Shawn Holley – has issued 24 affirmative defences and denied all allegations.As reported by Rolling Stone, the defences state that all claims are “barred” as the claimant gave “consent”, and added that Tyler should be granted immunity as he was “caretaker and/or guardian” at the time.It also stated that Misley “has not suffered any injury or damage as a result of any action by Defendant,” and that the conduct – presumably referring to his memoirs – is protected under the first amendment.Tyler also stated that the statute of limitations has expired on the allegations.
