Steven Tyler is welcoming the new year with a banging lawsuit.
The lead singer of Aerosmith is currently facing allegations from the 1970s of sexually assaulting a juvenile.
The lady alleged in a complaint received by Rolling Stone that she was young and had a sexual contact with Tyler, who was 25 at the time.
The Steven is charged with sexual assault, sexual violence, and deliberate cause of mental distress by the plaintiff Julia Holcomb.
Additionally, according to the court papers, the "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" singer persuaded Julia's mother to grant him guardianship of the adolescent when she was just 16 years old, enabling her to live with him.
Julia said that throughout that period, he and Steven had a three-year-long relationship.
Additionally, the complaint cited a passage from Steven Tyler's autobiography, "Does the Noise in My Head Bother You," in which he discussed nearly accepting a "teen bride" and how her parents fell in love with him right away.
signed a document giving me custody so I wouldn't be arrested if I took her out of the country.
Steven also admitted that he brought that minor along with him on tour. Although "Julia Halcomb" appeared in the acknowledgments, he omitted to include the name of the adolescent bride.
According to Julia, the singer-"power, songwriter's renown, and great financial resources" rendered her "powerless to resist," according to her lawsuit.
She further said that Steven forced her to believe they were having a "romantic" affair and convinced her of this.
In 1973, a few days after Julia turned 16, she met Steven Tyler during a concert his band played in Portland, Oregon.
The complaint stated that after discussing the teenager's age at his hotel, Steven allegedly "committed numerous acts of illegal sexual conduct upon" Julia before dropping her off at home in a cab.
The "Hole in My Soul" singer then flew her to Seattle for the following Aerosmith show, where he allegedly performed further sex acts on her before flying her back to Portland the following day.
The complaint claimed that once Steven was appointed Julia's guardian, he could travel with her without being concerned about facing legal action.
This also matched the timeline from the rock star's memoir, "She was sixteen, she knew how to nasty, and there wasn't a hair on it."
According to reports, Steven offered to enroll Julia in school and said he would be able to provide her with more assistance than she was getting at home. However, the paper stated that he did not keep his word and instead continued to travel with her, abused her, and gave her drink and narcotics.
Additionally, Julia became pregnant in 1975 when she was 17 years old, but after her apartment burned down, Steven insisted that she get an abortion.
Although the statement said that a medical expert had informed Julia that the fire did not affect the unborn child, Julia claimed that Steven had claimed that the baby would suffer injury from smoke inhalation and a lack of oxygen.
In the event that Julia didn't have the abortion, Steven vowed to cease helping her.
After getting the abortion, Julia supposedly parted ways with Steven and went back to her home in Portland. She met her spouse and converted to Christianity.
