Steven Tyler Denies Sexual Assault Allegations Involving a Minor in the 1970s

Steven Tyler is facing a sexual abuse lawsuit filed by Julia Misley, who claims Tyler initiated sex with her when she was just sixteen. Tyler's legal team is now claiming that because he had legal custody over the then-minor, this gives him "immunity or qualified immunity to Defendant as caregiver and/or guardian." He also claims Misley consented to their three-year sexual relationship, which is not only legally impossible as a minor but a poor defense for denying long-term harm. Misley is suing Tyler for sexual battery, sexual assault, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
