The Official Statement On Enzo Amore’s Sexual Assault Case Is In

That’s a big deal. Earlier this year, Enzo Amore was released by WWE a few days after Raw 25. The day of the show, Amore was revealed to be under investigation for raping a woman in a Phoenix, Arizona hotel room. Amore has maintained his innocence in the months since then as the police department continued its investigation. That investigation has now come to a close and a conclusion has been reached.

Does Amore want to return to WWE? He’s made his answer pretty clear.
In an official statement from the Phoenix Police Department by way of Prowrestlingsheet.com, the case against Amore is officially considered closed. Police did not find enough evidence to warrant continuing with the charges and found contradictory statements from the accuser, along with evidence against her claims on social media. Here is the full statement:

In reviewing the totality of this investigation, it does not warrant the submission for any criminal charges at this time. There is insufficient evidence to corroborate the victim’s disclosure of sexual assault. There were no witnesses to the incident and the forensic examination and crime lab results do not provide evidence of a sexual assault at this time.

The suspect did not give a direct statement to police, but did give an indirect statement through his attorney that all contact with the victim was consensual.

Cell phone and social media data and information contradict some of the initial statements about the incident and there is no cell phone or social media data that can corroborate the sexual assault disclosure.

Witness statements made to law enforcement contradict the victim’s statements.

Video surveillance does confirm that the parties involved were together at the Clarendon Hotel on the night in question. The footage also confirms the victim leaving that morning. The video surveillance does not capture or corroborate the disclosure of sexual assault.

The facts of the case do not allow this case to proceed at this time. In the event that additional evidence comes to light, that can corroborate the victim’s disclosure of sexual assault, this case can be re-opened and further investigated. Until such evidence is located or provided this case will be closed.

Case closed.

This is a bit easier to watch now.

Opinion: That’s a big hurdle out of the way for Amore, who, at least for the moment and quite possibly forever, no longer has to worry about criminal charges from this incident. While I can’t imagine this leads to him coming back to WWE either now or anytime soon, this is a major relief for Amore and hopefully he can move on from here. That was a very serious charge against him and now it seems that he can put it behind him without worrying about punishment.
