Sexual Assault Charges Dropped Against WWE NIL Signee

WWE NIL athlete AJ Ferrari was charged with a felony count of sexual battery with regard to an incident that allegedly took place at the residence of a woman in Stillwater in August last year.

The woman, DA Laura Austin Thomas, accused Ferrari of performing unwanted sexual acts on her while he pinned her down in her bed.

Pwinsider reports that Thomas has filed a motion to drop the lawsuit. The report states,

"The young woman who is at the center of this matter has endured in the last year vicious attacks on multiple forms of social media, continuing trauma, blame, harassment, ostracism, and indirect threats to her career. She has made the very difficult decision after consultation with her family that her further involvement is much less important than her health, a career that she loves, and the ugliness and hatred that she encounters and suffers each time this matter progresses into the next step."

Ferrari's attorney denied any harassment on his client's part, writing,

"While we were ready and willing to try this case, which would have ultimately proven A.J.'s innocence, we appreciate the District Attorney's decision to dismiss this case."

WWE signed Ferrari to an NIL deal in December 2020. It is unclear what Ferrari’s NIL status is at this time.
