As previously reported on LOP, James Ellsworth found himself in hot water when he was accused of sending nude pictures to an underage girl. Ellsworth immediately denied the allegations.

Today, he released a statement claiming that he has found a witness that that is willing to testify on his behalf. Ellsworth goes on to state that there is concrete evidence to prove his innocence, and claims that his statements within the text messages send to the underage girl were fabricated on his behalf.

Here’s the full statement from Ellsworth:

Recently, allegations of misconduct have been lodged against me which I categorically deny. I never have, nor will I ever engage in any activity that could be deemed as inappropriate or disrespectful. My delay in publicly commenting on this situation was based on the advice of my legal team which has just completed a thorough investigation. My attorneys have pinpointed a trusted witness who is willing to testify on my behalf. In addition, they have uncovered concrete evidence that supports my innocence and proves that without a shadow of a doubt the social media accounts alleged to be mine are fake and the messages from the account were fraudulently created without my knowledge or consent. My only hope is to restore my reputation as I, along with my family, friends and supporters have suffered because of a social media stunt devised to end my professional wrestling career. My team and I are prepared to pursue legal action against any party that persists with the promotion of these lies.
