The singer of the band Aerosmith, Steven Tyler, is the subject of a lawsuit initiated by an ex-girlfriend who came to live with the singer in the 1970s, when he was 16 and Tyler was 27. The singer, who is now from 74 years old, is accused of sexually abusing the (then) minor, Julia Holcomb, and forcing her to have an abortion.
According to the accusation, reported by Rolling Stone magazine, Steven Tyler had an affair with the plaintiff when she was 16 years old. The singer will have persuaded Julia Holcomb’s mother to pass legal custody of her to Tyler, causing the plaintiff to move in with Steven Tyler. Being a minor, according to the prosecution, Julia Holcomb had a sexual relationship with the singer that lasted about three years, until 1973.
The case is not entirely new because Rolling Stone itself had already mentioned the name of the person who appears in Steven Tyler’s memoirs as the “teenage girlfriend” that the singer wrote that he was about to get married. “Her parents fell in love with me, they signed a paper for me to take custody of her, so they wouldn’t arrest me if I left the state with her. I took her with me on a tourTyler wrote, without specifying the name of the woman who was later identified by Rolling Stone.
The court file references various parts of the book that prosecutors say prove the nature of Tyler’s relationship with Julia Holcomb. But it goes further: it refers to the relationship between the two when Julia became pregnant and Steven Tyler forced her to have an abortion. The two would have met when Julia had just turned 16, one night after an Aerosmith concert in Portland. Tyler must have met Julia Holcomb and brought her to her hotel room, where he found out how old she was from her and overheard her talking about the problems she was having with her parents at home. Then sexual acts followed, beginning a relationship that lasted at least three years.
“I want this lawsuit to highlight an industry that protects celebrities who commit crimes, an industry that exploits and has allowed myself to be exploited for many years, me and so many other children and naive and vulnerable adults,” the plaintiff said in a statement. . statement quoted by Rolling Stone.
