In the lawsuit, Holcomb accuses Tyler of sexual assault, sexual battery, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. It was filed under the California Child Victims Act, which lifted the statute of limitations of victims of child abuse.

Deadline reports that, in his memoir, Tyler acknowledged that he had a relationship with someone underage.

Tyler said that he "almost took a teen bride" whose parents “fell in love with me, signed a paper over for me to have custody, so I wouldn’t get arrested if I took her out of state. I took her on tour with me.”

Holcomb has claimed that Tyler plied her with drugs and alcohol and had sex with her. Holcomb's lawsuit also refers to a number of John Does, so it's possible that Tyler is not the only person implicated by it.

Holcomb has been more than willing to discuss her relationship with Tyler in the decades since, but this lawsuit offers victims in underage relationships a way to seek compensation. It's unclear how the suit will develop from here, and Tyler has yet to release any statement in response to it.
