Legendary Aerosmith frontman, Steven Tyler, has responded to allegations made by a woman who is suing him for s**ual abuse that occurred in the 1970s.
The lawsuit was filed three months ago and Tyler, along with his legal team, has strongly denied the claims.
According to documents obtained by a news outlet, Tyler argues that the plaintiff, Julia Misley (formerly known as Julia Holcomb), consented to their s**ual relationship.
He further asserts that he was her legal guardian at the time, providing him with immunity.
Misley acknowledges that she had a s**ual relationship with Tyler in 1973, when she was 16 and he was 25.
They allegedly met at an Aerosmith concert in Portland, Oregon, and continued their relationship for three years.
Tyler’s lawyer, Shawn Holley, defends his client by stating that the relationship was consensual and that Tyler acted as Misley’s legal guardian.
This claim of legal guardianship serves as a basis for Tyler’s immunity in the case.
In response to Tyler’s defense, Misley’s lawyer, Jeff Anderson, criticizes the argument as “manipulative,” accusing Tyler of using a false legal guardianship to evade prosecution for s** crimes.
Anderson alleges that Tyler took Misley to a hotel where he engaged in various criminal acts of s**ual conduct with her.
Additionally, Misley claims that Tyler drugged and coerced her into having an abortion against her will.
It is worth noting that Tyler’s legal team has prepared a 24-point brief in defense of the musician, emphasizing that Misley did not suffer any injury or damage as a result of Tyler’s actions.
These allegations and counterarguments shed light on a complex legal battle between Steven Tyler and Julia Misley, marked by conflicting accounts of consent and the interpretation of Tyler’s role as a legal guardian during their relationship.
As the case unfolds, both parties will present their evidence and arguments in court, seeking a resolution to this contentious matter.
