– James Ellsworth has posted to Twitter with a statement denying the allegations that he sent nude photos to an underage girl. Ellsworth posted to his social media account for the first time since the day he was accused on November 16th of sending the inappropriate pictures to a sixteen year-old girl.

Ellsworth’s statement, which can be read in full below, denies the allegations and says he held off on commenting while his legal team investigated. Ellsworth claims that he has a witness who can testify on his behalf and “concrete evidence” that supports his innocence, claiming that the messages were “fraudulently created without my knowledge or consent.” He says he is “prepared to pursue legal action against any party that persists with the promotion of these lies.”

The girl in question, who uses the Twitter handle @kliqkid, had posted several messages alleging that Ellsworth sent her nude photos without her request via Snapchat despite knowing she was sixteen. Those messages have since been deleted, though the extremely NSFW photos have been released online. The accuser says Ellsworth knew she was sixteen and claims that others have backed up her claims.

The accuser has also posted a response to Ellsworth’s statement, which you can see below.

“Mr.Ellsworth made a statement. Everyone is sending me. I seen it. Y’all got to think, If a minor ‘allegedly’ accused you of sending nudes, wouldn’t you do everything to save your ass too? People act like he is going to come out and admit it all
I know the truth. All the stories I’ve heard about him disgust me. People who worked with him, and know him have told me he’s has done hardcore drugs before also. His own bestfriend is even admitted over a phone call to a girl who has known Jimmy since 2012 that Jimmy has been unspeakable things all his life. In all the screenshots girls, people who have worked with him, promoters, wrestlers, etc the reason I blurred out their names out of respect. I don’t need tons of people hitting them up also

It’s funny the account he added me from, tons of girls also sent me that same exact snap, and said that he gave them the exact snapchat to them. I’ve heard that Snapchat is one he uses to just add girls. Also, people saying ‘Well, his face wasn’t in any of the explicit photos”. Let me know when you find a guy who shows his face when he’s taking pictures of his junk.

People say ‘Oh, why’d she give a grown man on snapchat, etc’. You guys are telling me, if a wrestler you liked and were a fan of you, you wouldn’t do that to? I have plenty of wrestlers on my snapchat (Nia, Mojo, Shinsuke, and more)

Someone who I was a fan of, met twice, bought his shirt, cheered him at matches, supported his wrestling career, why would I want to ruin his career & life? He has kids also, I wouldn’t destroy someone’s family just for the hell of it. If I were to fake a pedo, it wouldn’t be someone as low profile as Ellsworth

There is always gonna be people siding with him. When things like this happen, not everyone is only going to be on one side. Going to social media first about this is the biggest mistake I made, and I understand that. I regret doing that, but everything is a learning lesson”
