A sexual assault case against Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler stemming from an alleged encounter in 1975 has been dismissed by a judge.
According to Reuters, US District Judge Lewis Kaplan in Manhattan ruled that the plaintiff, Jeanne Bellino, a former child model who was 17 at the time of the alleged encounter, waited too long to sue Tyler under a New York City law protecting victims of gender-motivated violence.
The plaintiff’s initial allegations involve two encounters on the same day in Manhattan in 1975.
