Steven Tyler Accused Of Rape

Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler has been accused in a lawsuit of sexually abusing an underage girl when she was 16 and he was 25 in the 1970s. 

The Daily Mail US reports Julia Holcomb filed the lawsuit in Los Angeles in the final days of a California law that temporarily lifts the statute of limitations for such claims under a 'look-back' window that ends on Saturday. 

The suit does not name Tyler, identifying him as 'Defendant Doe,' but it quotes directly from Tyler's 2011 memoir describing the relationship. The singer wrote: 'She was sixteen, she knew how to nasty, and there wasn't a hair on it,' Tyler wrote in the book, which names the girl as 'Diana'. 

Holcomb has also previously spoken publicly about her alleged relationship with the rock star. 

The lawsuit alleges she met him in 1973 shortly after her 16th birthday, when she attended an Aerosmith concert in Portland, Oregon and returned to Tyler's hotel room after the show. The suit claims that after discussing Holcomb's age, Tyler 'performed various acts of criminal sexual conduct upon' her.
