Keith Houchen Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 (edited) David Starr has been accused of sexual assault and other stuff.  Now more women are speaking out with their experiences, so as day follows night, the accusations are met with she made it up and the like.  Bit worrying to see how many in wrestling are going with the "16 is legal" defence on this, because that isn't predatory behaviour at all, oh no. Anyway, here is the story.  Much like the wrestling defence, please keep the discussion legal.  Also because wrestling fans are terrible, this isn't #MeToo but #MeTWOOOOOOOO, probably. https://wrestletalk.com/news/david-starr-responds-to-accusations-of-sexual-abuse/ Edited June 19, 2020 by Keith Houchen Topic title changed.

Paid Members PunkStep Posted June 18, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted June 18, 2020 There's three British wrestlers accused on Twitter this evening as well. Just search David Starr and you'll soon see posts about the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted June 18, 2020 Author Share Posted June 18, 2020 And there is stuff about how some promotions have been less than supportive of those who have come forward. Â I'm not familiar with the British Wrestling scene, but what I've read is horrific. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abe_Knuckleball_Schwartz Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 (edited) Quite disturbing to see how many people connected with the wrestling world are jumping to his defence. I hope Marty Jannetty does not post anything on Facebook for a while.... Edited June 18, 2020 by Abe_Knuckleball_Schwartz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because if it’s US, and while age of consent varies state by state, I believe the majority of states have it set at 18 years of age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buba3d Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 (edited) apparently uk, there's some sort of list that's being compiled and there's like 45 female wrestlers that have came forward........the latest name to be name dropped is ligero Sanjay Bagga (not heard that name in years) Edited June 18, 2020 by buba3d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Nexus Posted June 18, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted June 18, 2020 David Starr is also refusing to take responsibility. He's posting that he was "a shit boyfriend" but never assaulted anyone; yet more stuff keeps coming out and he is refusing to acknowledge it.  My Twitter feed (and I don't even follow that much Brit Wres) is full of it and it's horrible to see.

Paid Members Lenin Posted June 18, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted June 18, 2020 Bubblegum! There's been so many in the last 24 hours it is absolutely sickening. Hopefully justice is served. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Lenin Posted June 18, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted June 18, 2020 No idea, first I've heard of it although I've been out of the scene for years. Strange lad, wouldn't have thought this though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted June 18, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted June 18, 2020 If any of these guys are mates with Will Ospreay, they'll be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Your Fight Site Posted June 18, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted June 18, 2020 For fuck’s sake. It’s not hard to be a decent human being. I just hope those that have stories to tell keep sharing, find closure, and justice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted June 18, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted June 18, 2020 Well, until I see the sexual assault in person and it isnt one of my favourites, I dont see how any of this can be true! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
