Steven Tyler has been formally named as a defendant in a lawsuit initiated last month alleging that he sexually abused a minor in the 1970s.
Julia Misley (previously known as Julia Holcomb) alleges that Tyler used his fame and status to “groom, manipulate, exploit, [and] sexually assault” her over the course of three years, beginning when she was 16 and he was in his mid-20s.
A year after sexually assaulting her in his hotel room, Tyler met with Misley’s mother and “convinced her to sign over the guardianship of her daughter to him,” assuring her of her well-being, the complaint says.
Tyler is also accused of impregnating Misley and coercing her to get an abortion. Misley says she continued to suffer deep emotional harm as a result of Tyler’s 2004 memoir, which recounts his relationship with a minor. (She was also named in a 1976 Rolling Stone profile of Aerosmith.)
