Overview
- A Los Angeles judge dismissed most of Julia Misley’s 2022 civil case against Steven Tyler, leaving one claim to proceed.
- The lone claim alleges intentional infliction of emotional distress from a 1974 hotel and public hot tub encounter in California when she was 16.
- The court ruled California cannot try alleged conduct in other states, while Massachusetts allegations were blocked by statutes of limitation.
- Tyler’s attorney called the decision a massive win and said trial on the remaining claim is scheduled for Aug. 31.
- Tyler has denied wrongdoing, citing consent and claimed guardian immunity, and earlier rulings cut memoir-based claims as a separate 2023 suit by another accuser was dismissed as too late.
