Marty Scurll Gives Statement Regarding Misconduct Allegations
June 23, 2020Marty Scurll has given his statement.
This week Marty Scurll was accused of sexual assault by a woman that took place in 2015 after an IPW UK show when she was only 16 years old. In the accusation, she stated that Scurll sat in a chair, pulled out his penis, and then to her to suck it. She said she did and then Scurll pulled her underwear down and tried to have sex with her but a friend showed up and told him to leave.
Scurll himself released the following statement on the incident,
I am aware that a young woman has bravely come forward with her account of sexual abuse by some members of the wrestling community in the UK 5 years ago, a community I was a part of.
Although I truly believe that our encounter that evening was consensual, and the fact that the encounter was legal; is almost not the point. I understand that she now views our encounter as part of a bigger problem within the wrestling community.
What concerns me at this moment is that from what I have been reading, she is a fan of wrestling and was made to feel unsafe within that community. This is not acceptable. I also understand that people have been attacking her on social media, and I implore you to please stop. She has a right to her voice and it is our responsibility to listen.
