Steven Tyler Scores Legal Win In Sex Assault of Minor Lawsuit
TMZ • • entertainment
Key Points:
- A judge has significantly reduced the sexual assault lawsuit against Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler, allowing only one claim related to an alleged 1974 incident in California to proceed.
- The plaintiff, Julia Holcomb, had originally filed multiple claims involving alleged sexual encounters in various states, but the court dismissed those outside California.
- Tyler's attorney hailed the ruling as a "massive win," noting that 99.9% of the claims were dismissed and the case is set for trial on August 31.
- The remaining allegation involves an incident where Holcomb, then 16, claims she and Tyler had sex in a hotel and public hot tub during a California visit.
- Despite the lawsuit, Holcomb and Tyler reportedly continued their relationship, living together in 1975 while engaged and expecting a child.
