"The suit claims that he 'used his role, status, and power as a well-known musician and rock star' to exploit Misley. The complaint also argues that Tyler admitted to the alleged crimes in his own memoir, where he refers to her as his 'teen bride.'"
"A judge dismissed most of the case, citing the statute of limitations in Massachusetts, where the pair lived during their three-year relationship. However, they allegedly crossed state lines while Tyler toured the country."
"Due to California's Child Victims Act - a 2020 statute that allowed a 'lookback window' where alleged victims can file lawsuits regardless of a statute of limitations - a portion of the case will still be tried."
"Tyler's lawyer David Long-Daniels stated, '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.'"
A Los Angeles court has ruled that a child sexual assault case against Steven Tyler will go to trial. The lawsuit alleges that Tyler groomed and sexually assaulted Julia Misley, a 16-year-old, in the 1970s. Although most claims were dismissed due to Massachusetts' statute of limitations, a portion remains viable under California's Child Victims Act. Tyler's lawyer stated that only one claim from a three-year relationship will be tried, marking a significant legal development in the case.
