James Ellsworth Issues New Statement On Allegations, Could Pursue Legal Action

James Ellsworth has issued a new statement on the allegations against him by a fan!

Since allegations that he sent nude and sexually explicit photos/videos to an underage fan on social media popped up two weeks back (see the initial story here), we have yet to hear any new developments after Ellsworth denied the claims and got attorneys involved (see that here).

Ellsworth has now broken his brief silence via Twitter, continuing to proclaim his innocence and stating he could be pursuing legal action:

“Recently, allegations of misconduct have been lodged against me which I categorically deny,” Ellsworth wrote. “I never have, nor will I ever engage in any activity that could be deemed as inappropriate or disrespectful. My delay in publicly commenting on this situation was based on the advice of my legal team, which has just completed a thorough investigation. My attorneys have pinpointed a trusted witness who is willing to testify on my behalf. In addition, they have uncovered concrete evidence that supports my innocence and proves that without a shadow of a doubt the social media accounts alleged to be mine are fake and the messages from the account were fraudulently created without my knowledge or consent.

My only hope is to restore my reputation as I, along with my family, friends and supporters have suffered because of a social media stunt devised to end my professional wrestling career. My team and I are prepared to pursue legal action against any party that persists with the promotion of these lies.”
