According to Rolling Stone, another woman has filed a lawsuit against Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler after accusing him of sexual assault. The alleged victim, Jeanne Bellino, claims the disturbing incidents happened in New York back in 1975 when she was 17 and he was 27.

Bellino says her and her friend were walking with Tyler and his entourage down Sixth Avenue when she asked him about a song lyric. The singer allegedly got frustrated by the query and forced her into a phone booth. The suit said the following about that:

“While holding her captive, Tyler stuck his tongue down her throat, and put his hands upon her body, her breasts, her buttocks and her genitals, moving and removing clothing and pinning her against the wall of the phone booth. As Tyler was mauling and groping Plaintiff, he was humping her pretending to have sex with Plaintiff. Others stood by outside the phone booth laughing and as passersby watched and witnessed, nobody in the entourage intervened.”

Bellino also added that “Tyler’s penis was erect and it was evident to her as he rubbed it against her that he was not wearing underwear and wearing thin pants.” When she got out of the phone booth she was in a state of “shock and fear.”

Tyler then allegedly assaulted her again at the Warwick Hotel. He reportedly grinded against her and forcibly kissed her despite her objections. He then allegedly said he was “going in [his] room to do something quick” and that he would call her after he was finished. When Tyler’s associate told Bellino she could go up to his room, she was said to have been unable to talk due to her paralyzing fear and she “bolted toward the [hotel] door.” A doorman, who allegedly witnessed the previous incident, then threw her in a cab and told the driver to go.

Bellino, who was allegedly hospitalized and medicated after the incidents, claims she “has suffered and will continue to suffer, great pain of mind and body, severe and permanent emotional distress, physical manifestations of emotional distress, embarrassment, humiliation, physical, personal and psychological injuries.” She also revealed that she still uses medication “to cope with the sexual assault and has suffered long-term physical injury associated with the trauma.”

This news comes after another woman, named Julia Holcomb, filed a lawsuit against Tyler after accusing him of sexual assault, sexual battery, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Those incidents were said to have taken place between 1973 and 1976, while she was still a minor. For his part, Tyler denied the accusations.
