A federal judge in New York dismissed a sexual assault against Aerosmith's Steven Tyler for good, meaning the plaintiff can't file a suit over the claims again.
A federal judge in Manhattan has dismissed a sexual assault lawsuit filed against Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler for good, meaning the plaintiff won’t be allowed to amend or file a similar lawsuit in the future. Jeanne Bellino, 66, a former teen model, filed a lawsuit against the 76-year-old last fall, accusing him of forcibly groping her inside a New York City phone booth in 1975.
In February, he said that Tyler's conduct didn't amount to 'serious risk of physical injury,' which would have allowed Bellino to sue using the two-year window given by the Gender Motivated Violence Act. Kaplan gave her until March 13 to amend her complaint. 'We agree with the judge's reasoning, and are grateful for this result on behalf of our client,' Tyler's lawyer, David Long-Daniels, said in a statement to Reuters at the time.
Long-Daniels told Reuters this week that the judge 'fastidiously applied the facts to the law. That is all we can ask from any judge. We are particularly happy for Steven and his family.' Fox News Digital has reached out to reps for Tyler for comment. Fox News Digital's Lauryn Overhultz contributed to this report.
