Andy Carroll reveals he was sexually assaulted in 2021
–
Neutral summary
Former England striker Andy Carroll has revealed in his autobiography “Owning It”, published on 24 September, that he was sexually assaulted in 2021. The 37-year-old said the attack was carried out by a “celebrity mate” of his former partner, who was later found guilty of sexual offences and jailed for three years. Carroll, who was playing for Newcastle United at the time, said he woke up to find the man assaulting him. He wrote: “I was sexually assaulted, there I said it. Scary to even think about and only a few people knew about it before now.” The footballer said he decided to include the episode in the book at the last minute, hoping to help other survivors of abuse. On the same day, Carroll cancelled a book signing and Q&A at Dagenham Football Club hours before the event, citing “unforeseen circumstances”. Carroll is now player-manager of Dagenham & Redbridge in the English sixth tier.
