A judge has dismissed a lawsuit brought by a woman who accused Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler of sexually assaulting her twice in 1975 when she was 17.
US District Judge Lewis Kaplan said Jeanne Bellino waited too long to sue the 75-year-old rock star, according to the Reuters news agency.
Ms Bellino, a former model, claimed he had groped her in a Manhattan phone booth before pinning her against a wall later that day and simulating sex.
He "vehemently" denied the allegations.
The judge decided the case did not qualify for a two-year window for submitting claims that would otherwise fall outside the usual legal time limit, because Tyler's alleged conduct did not meet the criteria for posing a "serious risk of physical injury".
Tyler's lawyer David Long-Daniels told Reuters: "We agree with the judge's reasoning, and are grateful for this result on behalf of our client."
The singer has also denied claims in a separate continuing case filed by another woman in 2022.
