JAKARTA - Aerosmith vocalist Steven Tyler is accused of sexually abusing minors in a new lawsuit by his ex-girlfriend.

Julia Holcomb accused Tyler of harassing himself when he was only 16 years old, claiming then that he also forced him to have an abortion when he was pregnant.

As Rolling Stone reported, Holcomb alleges that when they started dating in 1973 - where Tyler was then 25 years old and Holcomb 16 - Tyler convinced Holcomb's mother to hand over her daughter's guardianship to her.

The lawsuit did not mention Tyler's name, but immediately quoted him from the vocalist's memoir, in which he said he was "almost married young" and his parents " SIGNed a letter so I had custody, so I wouldn't be arrested if I took him out of the state. I took him on tour with me."

The lawsuit states that Tyler forced and persuaded [Holcomb] to believe that this is a 'romantic love affair', going on to state that, after meeting at an Aerosmith show in 1973, Tyler committed various crimes against him at a hotel.

Although his guardianship of Holcomb required him to provide him with medical care, the lawsuit claims that Tyler did not mean following up on these promises and instead continues to tour, attack and provide Holcomb with alcohol and illegal drugs.

Holcomb also claims Tyler forced her to have an abortion in 1975 when she was 17 years old, citing smoke from apartment fires.

However, the lawsuit claims that a medical professional told him the smoke had no adverse impact on the fetus it contained.
