Steven Tyler finally won the legal battle against the sexual allegations he had been facing for years.
On February 21, U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan dismissed a lawsuit that accused Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler of sexually assaulting a former teenage model twice in one day in Manhattan nearly 50 years ago.
Kaplan ruled that Jeanne Bellino waited too long to sue Tyler under a New York City law protecting victims of gender-motivated violence. Tyler has vehemently denied her allegations. The judge stated that Bellino did not qualify for a two-year window to pursue claims because she did not allege that Tyler’s conduct posed a ‘serious risk of physical injury.’
Tyler’s legal representatives contended that Bellino could have presented her case earlier under two prior state laws—the Child Victims Act and Adult Survivors Act—both of which had elapsed windows for filing claims. They asserted that her failure to do so indicated a ‘lack of diligence’ on the part of the woman. In dismissing the case, Judge Kaplan aligned with the arguments put forth by Tyler’s legal team.
Tyler’s attorney, too, agrees with the judge’s reasoning:
“We agree with the judge’s reasoning, and are grateful for this result on behalf of our client.”
