US judge dismisses Steven Tyler sexual assault lawsuit due to statute of limitations and state laws.

A US judge dismissed a lawsuit accusing Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler of sexually assaulting a former teenage model in Manhattan nearly 50 years ago. The judge ruled that Jeanne Bellino, who alleged Tyler assaulted her twice in one day, waited too long to sue, as her claims didn't meet the criteria for a serious risk of physical injury, and the judge cited two state laws preempting Bellino's claim. This ruling could affect other similar cases.
