Late last year, Aerosmith's Steven Tyler was named as a defendant in a lawsuit related to the alleged sexual assault of a minor. The vocalist is now seeking dismissal on the grounds that the claimant allegedly issued her consent at the time.
The ongoing case, currently held at Torrance Superior Court, explores a three-year relationship between the Aerosmith frontman and a girl who he reportedly met when she was 16 years of age in 1973. Details in the paperwork also match the events explored in Tyler’s memoir, in which he recalls almost taking a “teen bride”. He wrote, “With my bad self being 26 and she barely old enough to drive and sexy as hell, I just fell madly in love with her”.
