Storley was arrested for sexual battery in Florida a little
more than two weeks after his most recent
Professional Fighters League appearance.
According to the Miami Herald, Storley was arrested in Key West
early Monday morning after he sexually assaulted a woman in an
alley. Storley was booked into Monroe Country’s (Florida) jail
before being released on $50,000 bond.
A police report states that Storley met the woman at a three-story
establishment called the Bull and Whistle, which includes a third level rooftop
bar known as the Garden of Eden where clothing is optional.
Storley tried to dance with the woman on the second story bar, but
she told detectives she “wanted to get away.” The fighter then
invited the woman to the third story to “get naked,” an offer she
initially declined. However, the woman eventually did go to the
third floor, where she danced with another woman “in an effort to
avoid” Storley, per the police report.
After the woman left the bar, Storley followed her outside and
convinced her to go into an alley about a block east of the street
where the Bull and Whistle is located. According to the report,
Storley then got naked and sexually assaulted the woman. Employees
from Teasers, a nearby strip club, witnessed the assault. When
Storley attempted to flee the scene, he was caught by the strip
club manager and taken to officers in the area. According to the
report, Storley declined to talk to authorities without his
attorney present. The woman was taken to a clinic to be examined
for sexual assault. Storley’s arraignment is scheduled for June
5.
PFL Release Occurred Before Assault
The 33-year-old Storley has compiled a 19-4 professional record
over the course of an MMA career that began in 2015. He last
competed at
PFL Sioux Falls in his home state, where he defeated Florim
Zendeli in the evening’s main event on May 2. Sherdog.com
confirmed with a PFL official that the promotion parted ways with
Storley shortly after that event, so he was no long on the roster
at the time of the sexual assault.
A four-time NCAA All-American wrestler at the University of
Minnesota, Storely went 10-2 in Bellator
MMA, earning notable wins over the likes of Joaquin
Buckley, Neiman
Gracie and Michael
Page. He challenged for welterweight gold at Bellator 291,
dropping a five-round verdict to Yaroslav
Amosov. Prior to his release, he went 4-2 with PFL.
