What a year for Steven Tyler. First his vocal issues forcing the postponment of Aerosmith's Farwell Tour, now another woman has accused him of sexual assault dating back in 1975.

The legal case has been filed at New York's Supreme Court by Jeanne Bellino, who says she suffered "severe and permanent emotional distress".

It follows a separate case filed by another woman, Julia Misley, last year.

Tyler has denied all allegations in that lawsuit and has not yet commented on the claims from Ms Bellino.

She was working as a model in Manhattan when a friend arranged for them to meet the rock band after a fashion show, her legal documents say.

The singer allegedly forced Ms Bellino into a phone booth as they walked through the city with several other people.

The documents state Tyler was "mauling and groping" her and that she "fought back and struggled to be free but Tyler restrained her".

His bandmates and members of the entourage "watched, laughed and did nothing to intercede", she claims.

Later at a hotel bar, Ms Bellion alleges that Tyler pinned her against a wall and started simulating sex. She "resisted and pulled his hair", was left "sobbing and afraid", and left after he called for her to go to his room, she claimed.

The case said Ms Bellino "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".
