Steven Tyler's accuser filed new documents against the Aerosmith frontman as she attempted to stop his effort to dismiss part of her lawsuit.
A female named Julia Holcomb started the legal battle as she accused Tyler of having a sexual relationship with her in the mid-1970s when she was only 16 years old. She submitted the sexual assault case before the deadline for filing California's Child Victims Act-related lawsuits.

Tyler previously filed a response to Holcomb's lawsuit, asking the court to throw out her claim of intentional infliction of emotional distress in her court documents.
In the new submission obtained by RadarOnline.com, Holcomb said Tyler reportedly published his book "his own profit and grotesque sense of prestige."
"Through these publications, Tyler identified [Holcomb] to the public and prompted [Holcomb] to realize the true extent of the psychological harm she had suffered as a result of his childhood sexual abuse of her," the accuser's lawyer said.
The filing added, "To be clear: [Holcomb] is not suing Tyler because Tyler has exercised his right to free speech or petition; rather, [Holcomb] is suing Tyler because of the wildly disturbing and outrageous childhood sexual abuse Tyler perpetrated against [Holcomb]."
A lawyer has yet to set a ruling on the newly submitted documents.
For what it's worth, Tyler wrote in his book that he almost took a teen bride after the girl's parents fell in love with him and made him sign a paper to have custody in order to prevent an arrest.
From there, Tyler reportedly took the girl on tour.
Previously, he issued a lengthy defense in Los Angeles County Superior Court in which he disclosed that the woman consented to their relationship. He added that he had immunity since he became her legal guardian at that time.
Lawyers who are not related in any way to the case also found it "unusual."
Several experts told Insider that Tyler's memoir could already be treated as "shocking evidence" that can be used to cross-examine him in court.
Per McAllister Olivarius' attorney Ann Olivarius, Tyler could have ended it if he wanted to but reportedly showed how "proud" he was of his action when he admitted it in his book.
