Steven Tyler Sexual Assault Lawsuit Faces Delay as Second Judge Recuses Weeks Before Trial

The sexual assault lawsuit against Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler has lost its second judge less than two weeks before the scheduled trial date, forcing a reassignment of the case. Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Patricia A. Young recused herself after disclosing a potential conflict, raising questions about whether the September 28 start date can be maintained. Tyler has denied the allegations of sexual abuse, which stem from a relationship that allegedly began in 1973 when the plaintiff was 16.
