Enzo Amore Cleared In Alleged Sexual Assault Case

Enzo Amore was on top of the world as he danced his way down to the ring as WWE Cruiserweight Champion and then it all seemed to crumble for him in an instant.

We live in a day and age where stories can break out, get misinterpreted, and then be in the minds of thousands of people because the truth can really be a factor. This seemed to really bite Enzo Amore because there was a young lady who accused Enzo Amore of rape and there was little he could do about it in a social court.

But today is a good day to be Enzo Amore because it looks like police have informed his counsel that the investigation is over and he’s totally in the clear.

In the statement Enzo Amore’s attorney said:

“On January 22nd, 2018, Eric Arndt (also known as Enzo Amore for World Wrestling Entertainment [WWE]) was accused, via the internet and social media, or misconduct during an alleged incident in Phoenix, Arizona, several months earlier. Prior to that date, no law enforcement or any other officials had contacted Mr. Arndt regarding such claims. However, after the careless unfounded tirade on social media, Mr. Arndt learned of these accusations when his counsel reached out to Pheonix Police. Subsequently, and as evidenced by the vast amount of online admissions and other publicly available information, it was soon clear that the accuser exhibited a complete lack of truth or credibility. At all times, Mr. Arndt fully and unequivocally denied such accusation and remained confident in clearing his name.

“The Phoenix Police Department recently informed Mr. Arndt and his counsel that there is insufficient evidence in this matter to warrant any criminal charges, that the matter will not be transferred to the County Attorney for prosecution, and that their investigation and case is closed. No charges were ever filed. The matter is closed.”

The statement went on to thank his fans for sticking next to Enzo Amore at this time. The statement from Enzo’s attorney really makes it sound like WWE might have fired Amore for no reason because their reason was said to be due to the fact that he knew about an investigation since October 2017 but failed to let them know.

Only time will tell when/where we see Enzo Amore once again but it’s my guess that it won’t be long before he comes back out of hiding. It’s just a shame that this story got out of hand and put a stop to his run with WWE like it did.
