Former Liverpool Striker Andy Carroll Says He Was Sexually Assaulted in 'Traumatic' Attack
- Former England footballer Andy Carroll revealed in his new autobiography that he was sexually assaulted a few years ago, describing the experience as "traumatic" and initially debating whether to disclose it publicly.
- The incident occurred in 2021 after a Newcastle United game, when Carroll felt light-headed after drinks and was awoken by an unnamed acquaintance who attempted to assault him while he slept.
- After Carroll reported the assault, a police investigation led to trial where the attacker denied allegations but was found guilty and sentenced to three years in prison, then placed on the National Sex Offender Register.
- Partner Lou Teasdale, 42, supported Carroll's decision to include the revelation in his book; he admits he "avoided my publisher for so long" due to fears about sharing the painful experience.
- By sharing his story, Carroll hopes to "help just one person" affected by similar trauma, with The Survivors Trust offering support resources for survivors of sexual assault.
