Steven Tyler denies sexually assaulting a minor and claims it was “consensual”

Steven Tyler denies sexually assaulting a minor and claims it was “consensual”. (Read More Here).

The Aerosmith frontman, 75, responded to the claims — which were made in a December 2022 lawsuit — in a lengthy filing last week, arguing that the plaintiff, Julia Misley, consented to their sexual relationship. In the court documents, obtained by Us Weekly, Tyler also argued that he had qualified immunity as now-65-year-old Misley’s onetime legal guardian.

The rock icon requested that the lawsuit be dismissed entirely, alleging that Misley “has not suffered any injury or damage” as a result of his actions.

Tyler’s response comes three months after Misley filed a lawsuit accusing the “Dream On” singer of sexual assault, sexual battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress. According to court documents obtained by the Los Angeles Times, the filing alleged that Tyler persuaded Misley to get an abortion as a teenager after she became pregnant with his child.

The response comes three months after Misley accused the rocker of sexual assault, and sexual battery, and also alleged that he forced her to get an abortion during their relationship in the 1970s.

In the court documents, Misley alleged that Tyler “coerced and persuaded” her into believing they had “a romantic love affair” — which started when she was 16 and he was 25.

The musician also admitted in his memoir, “Does the Noise in My Head Bother You?,” to having a relationship with a then-unnamed 16-year-old girl.

In fact, he revealed in the book that he “almost took a teen bride” because “her parents fell in love with me [and] signed a paper over for me to have custody so I wouldn’t get arrested if I took her out of state.”
