Tommy Lee Sued Again as Accuser Refiles 2003 Assault Case Under New California Law

AB 250 creates a two-year window for adult survivors to bring civil claims against individual alleged perpetrators without alleging a business cover-up.

Overview

  • Heather Taylor filed a new 14-page complaint in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Jan. 20, 2026, invoking AB 250.
  • The suit alleges Lee groped and digitally penetrated her during a 2003 helicopter flight and attempted to force oral sex, with pilot David Martz present.
  • Taylor seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages and demands a jury trial on claims of sexual battery, gender violence, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and negligence.
  • Taylor previously filed as Jane Doe in 2023 and withdrew after a 2024 provisional dismissal that found she had not pleaded a business cover-up under the prior statute.
  • Lee’s lawyers previously called the allegations “bogus and false,” and they have not yet issued a new comment on the refiling.
