Tyler further harmed Misley by publishing memoirs that detailed parts of their relationship without her knowledge or consent, the lawsuit alleged. Tyler said he was thinking about marrying her, referenced abortions, and called it a “tricky situation all around." Some of the abuse occurred in Los Angeles County, the lawsuit said. The teen is given the pseudonym “Diana Hall” and, at one point, is described as pregnant. She has also recounted her experiences with Tyler in prior interviews, and Tyler discussed a relationship with a teenage girl in two books, published in 2011 and 1997.

Steven Tyler of Aerosmith is sued for an alleged 1970s sexual assault in final week allowed by a 2019 state law regarding childhood sexual assaults.

In 1974, Tyler became the teen’s guardian after making “various promises and inducements” to her mother, the lawsuit says. The lawsuit says the singer confessed to his alleged crimes when he wrote, “She was 16, she knew how to nasty … He “persuaded Plaintiff into believing this was a ‘romantic love affair,’” the lawsuit says. After the teen finished her sophomore year in high school, Tyler allegedly talked her into coming to his apartment in Boston and weeks later told her he didn’t want her to return to Portland but rather wanted her out on the road with him. The document alleges that Tyler asked how old she was and then “inquired where Plaintiff’s parents were and why she was out all night by herself,” prompting the girl to describe problems at home. She identified him, however, as the subject of the lawsuit in a statement provided Friday by her attorneys.

In a lawsuit filed under California's Child Victims Act, the woman says she met the Aerosmith frontman when she was 16.

Suit alleges 'various acts of criminal sexual conduct' were committed against teenager by singer over three-year period.

Her lawsuit and statements emphasised the importance of her Catholic faith, and said that she believed safety inside the Catholic church had been improved because of legal efforts to tackle the sexual abuse of children within the church. The two had been photographed together, and Misley was interviewed about her interactions with Tyler in a 2021 documentary, Look Away, which focused on the abuse of young women in the music industry during the 70s and 80s. He’s described her as having “more legs than a bucket of chicken,”’” the lawsuit alleges. After her sophomore year in high school, the lawsuit alleges, the rock star brought the teenager to stay with him in Boston, then convinced her not to return home to school, but travel with him on the road instead. The musician “performed various acts of criminal sexual conduct”, and then sent her home in a taxi, according to the lawsuit. “Because I know that I am not the only one who suffered abuse in the music industry, I feel it is time for me to take this stand,” Misley, now 65, said in a statement.
