One of Steven Tyler's sexual assault cases was dismissed

A New York A lawsuit accusing Steven Tyler of sexually assaulting a model in the 1970s was dismissed Wednesday, according to court documents reviewed by Rolling rock.

Judge Lewis Kaplan ruled that plaintiff Jeanne Bellino's case did not meet the criteria for New York's Sex Victims Protection Act because Bellino did not allege that Tyler had presented her with a “serious risk of bodily harm.”

“We agree with the judge's reasoning and are grateful for this outcome on behalf of our client,” said Tyler's attorney, David Long-Daniels. Reuters.

Bellino's attorney, Jeff Anderson, claimed that while “Tyler's attorneys filed the motion to ask the Court to dismiss the lawsuit in early February,” they “failed to serve it on the survivor as required by court rules to allow to the Plaintiff to file an objection.” He added that Bellino “will ask the Court to reinstate the lawsuit.” Anderson reiterated those allegations in a letter to the court Thursday, asking that the motion to dismiss be denied.

In her lawsuit, filed days before New York's Adult Survivors Act deadline, Bellino alleged that Tyler had sexually assaulted her multiple times in one day when she met the Aerosmith singer in New York in 1975, when she was 17 and he was 27. The suit alleged that Tyler had groped and kissed Bellino in a phone booth and later claimed he forcibly kissed her in the Warwick Hotel bar near the lobby.

Bellino claimed in the lawsuit that she was hospitalized and medicated as a result of the incident and still needs medication “to cope with the sexual assault and has suffered long-term physical injury related to the trauma” nearly five decades later.

The lawsuit comes a year after Julia Misley, formerly Julia Holcomb, sued Tyler in California, accusing him of sexually assaulting her when she was a teenager. Misley claimed in her suit that Tyler allegedly began assaulting her when she was 16 in 1973. Tyler convinced her parents to grant him custody of Misley, she claimed, so she could travel with him beyond across state lines without prosecution. She also claimed that she was pregnant with Tyler's child in 1975 when she was 17 and that he convinced her to have an abortion after she went to the hospital after an apartment fire. (Misley's case is still ongoing.)

The “Dream On” artist was one of several prominent music industry figures to be sued over decades-long sexual abuse allegations through the Adult Survivors Act. Other artists and executives prosecuted include Axl Rose, Sean “Diddy” Combs and LA Reid. A sexual assault case against Jimmy Iovine was dismissed earlier this month.
