Second Judge Steps Down in Steven Tyler Sexual Assault Lawsuit
Julia Misley, who sued Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler in 2022 over alleged sexual assault in the 1970s when she was a minor, sees another judge recuse herself from the case.
In 2022, a woman named Julia Misley (formerly Julia Holcomb) sued Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler, accusing him of sexually assaulting her in the '70s, when she was a minor. Misley filed her lawsuit in the final days of the Child Victims Act, a 2019 law that temporarily voided the statute of limitations for victims of child sexual abuse. She met Tyler when she was 16 and he was 25, and he became her legal guardian during their three-year relationship, which Tyler wrote about in his own 2011 memoir. The trial was set to start later this month, but now two different judges have recused themselves from the case.
