Steven Tyler denies 1970s sexual assault of teen, seeks dismissal of lawsuit

LOS ANGELES — Steven Tyler has denied claims that he sexually assaulted a teen he met in 1973 three months after the alleged victim filed a lawsuit against the Aerosmith frontman.

In his response, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court last week, Tyler "denies, generally and specifically, each and every allegation and cause of action" detailed in the complaint filed by plaintiff Julia Misley.

According to the December lawsuit, Misley — whose maiden name is Holcomb — met Tyler after a concert in Portland, Oregon, in 1973. She was 16 at the time, and he was 25.
