Judge Dismisses Sexual Assault Lawsuit Against Aerosmith's Steven Tyler
A U.S. District Judge dismissed a lawsuit alleging that Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler sexually assaulted a woman when she was 17, ruling that she did not qualify for the new two-year window under New York City’s Victims of Gender-Motivated Violence Protection Act. The suit, filed by Jeanne Bellino, claimed that Tyler assaulted her in 1975, but the judge stated that the alleged conduct did not present a serious risk of physical injury. Another lawsuit against Tyler, filed in California by a woman who says she had a sexual relationship with him when she was 16, is still ongoing.
