Julia Misley alleged that Tyler had “groomed” and “manipulated” her as a teenager decades ago, and claimed that he had admitted as much by referring to her as his “teen bride” in his memoir.

Misley (formerly Holcomb) filed a lawsuit against the singer back in 2022, claiming she was the unnamed teenager he referred to in his book and alleging that he had abused his fame to win control over her — which resulted in signing an agreement with her parents to take legal guardianship.

She also claimed that he sexually assaulted her for three years starting in 1973, when she was just 16-years-old.

Os advogados de Tyler caracterizaram esse período como um “relacionamento romântico” consensual entre um homem “no meio dos 20 anos na época” e uma mulher “entre 16 e 19 anos”, e argumentaram que era legal sob a idade de consentimento.

Rolling Stone reports that Judge Lawrence Riff will now preside over the trial, and will be the fifth judge to take on the role.

Riff has said that he will disregard any previous rulings made by Young, should either party request it, because “both parties here are entitled to have the peace of mind at the end of the case that everything was on the up and up and proper, and that there’s no lingering shadow of doubt of possible impropriety”.

A nova data do julgamento foi fixada para 3 de maio de 2027.

Back in April, Judge Young dismissed the majority of a child sexual assault lawsuit against Tyler, saying that much of it was barred by the statute of limitations in Massachusetts, where the pair lived throughout their three-year relationship.

The judge also dismissed accusations relating to conduct in Washington and Oregon, where the pair also briefly travelled, for the same statute-of-limitations reasons.

Ela, no entanto, decidiu que Misley pode processar por um suposto encontro sexual durante uma breve viagem à Califórnia – onde os prazos não se aplicam devido a uma lei especial de abuso sexual.
