The lawsuit does not identify Steven Tyler by name, but some of the details were taken directly from the rock star's own memoir.

Tyler further wrote about these events in his own memoir and mentioned the apartment fire, but not the abortion. After terminating the pregnancy, Holcomb says she left Tyler and moved back to Portland, where she became a devout Catholic and eventually met her husband. Tyler then allegedly “performed various acts of criminal sexual conduct upon” her before sending her home the next morning. Holcomb claims she buried these memories of Tyler until the rock star wrote about them in his memoir and subjected her to “involuntary infamy” by framing her childhood sexual assault as a “romantic, loving relationship.” Holcomb says she was “powerless to resist” Tyler because of his “power, fame and substantial financial ability.” The lawsuit reads that Tyler “coerced and persuaded Plaintiff into believing this was a ‘romantic love affair.'” [Aerosmith](http://globalnews.ca/tag/steven-tyler/) frontman [Steven Tyler](https://globalnews.ca/tag/steven-tyler) has been accused of sexual assault, sexual battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress in a minor in a new lawsuit filed by Julia Holcomb — who says she was 16 years old when Tyler first targeted her in 1973.

He said that I was too young to have a baby and it would have brain damage because I had been in the fire and taken drugs. “She was sixteen, she knew how to nasty, and there wasn’t a hair on it,” Tyler wrote in his memoir before saying he became the girl’s guardian to avoid getting arrested if he took her out of state before detailing their sexual endeavors a few pages later. The Aerosmith autobiography, published in 1997, references the relationship, the apartment fire, and abortion, but Tyler refers to the girl as Diana and said she was 14 at the time they met. Prior to the complaint, she detailed many of the same allegations in 2011 for the far-right, anti-abortion website Lifesitenews, and she has gone on programs like Tucker Carlson’s show to share her experience as fodder against pro-choice advocacy. After the abortion, she allegedly left Tyler and went back to Portland to change her life. Tyler also allegedly bought Holcomb her own plane ticket to his next Aerosmith show in Seattle since she was a minor and could not legally travel with him across state lines, the suit says. According to the lawsuit, Holcomb was hesitant about going through with the abortion, but Tyler had threatened to stop supporting her if she didn’t proceed with the procedure. Tyler allegedly told Holcomb’s mother he would provide better support than she was getting at home, promising to enroll her in school and give her medical care. “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 and bring this action, to speak up and stand in solidarity with the other survivors.” Holcomb alleges that she met Tyler (who would’ve been 25 at the time of their meeting) just after her 16th birthday when Aerosmith played a concert in Portland, Oregon, in 1973.
