The singer wrote his autobiography in 2011 and he mentions the underage affair he had. At the time, he referred to it as, “an unintentional humiliation” but also made sure to point out that it was a “romantic and loving relationship. .”
He also said in his personal bio that he “almost took a teenage bride”. Then he went on to brag that “his parents fell in love with me, signed papers for me to get custody, so I wouldn’t get arrested if I took him out of state. I took him on tour with me.” He did not name Julia but instead called this girl “Diana”.

How Julia Holcomb Met Steven Tyler
Priest for Life
The young woman attended one of the band’s shows in Portland, Oregon in 1973. Julia was only 16 and Tyler invited her back to his hotel, she mentioned her age and Tyler wanted to know why she was out alone at that age.
Julia admits to a difficult home life and somehow this turns into Tyler “perform[ing] various sexual crimes against” Julia.
The affair continued with Tyler allegedly flying the teenager to Seattle and having more sex with her before sending her home on a plane the next day. By 1974, Tyler had convinced his parents to sign a guardianship so that he could not be criminally charged for taking her on tour with him.
He allegedly promised to enroll Julia in school, and get her medical treatment. According to the lawsuit, Tyler “did not meaningfully fulfill these promises and instead proceeded to travel with, assault and provide Plaintiff with alcohol and drugs,”
In 1975, Julia becomes pregnant at 17 but following an apartment fire, Tyler induces her to have an abortion by insisting/tricking her into thinking that smoke inhalation and lack of oxygen are causing her baby to be sick.
“I can’t believe he asked me to abort at this stage. He spent over an hour pressuring me to go ahead with the abortion. He said that I was too young to have a baby and that it would have brain damage because I had been in a fire and taken drugs. “

The singer’s abortion was Julia’s last, she booked a flight back to Portland and never spoke to Tyler again, she even got married and found religion (of course) but now, she’s having a hard time burying her past because Tyler won’t stop talking about it .
In addition to his 2011 autobiography, the singer also openly praised the relationship in Aerosmith’s 1997 autobiography. He also referenced the apartment fire, an underage girl named Diana who was 14 at the time instead of 16 like Julia, and the abortion.
In her 2011 memoir, the girl was 16, and the fire was mentioned but not the abortion. Tyler also mentions Julia’s name in the confessional misspelling her last name as “Halcomb” he says some pretty nasty things about her in the book.
“He’s sixteen, he knows how to be evil, and he doesn’t have a hair.”
“With my bad self being twenty-six and him barely old enough to drive and sexy, I fell in love with him. He was a cute little skinny tomboy dressed like Little Bo Peep. He was my heart’s desire, my partner in crime lust.”
But, it’s been decades

How can Julia sue the singer after so many years? Julia took advantage of California’s Child Victims Act, whose deadline is approaching on December 31, 2022.
Rolling stones described this as “2019 legislation that lifts the statute of limitations and provides a three-year grace period for survivors of childhood sexual abuse to come forward with their allegations.”
