2021 Update: No charges were ever pressed against James Ellsworth. His accuser has also deleted all posts and her account was suspended after evidence was presented that the allegations were fabricated.
James Ellsworth has reportedly been sending nudes of himself to an underage fan on Snapchat. The victim- Twitter user @Kliqkid (Katie) has come forward to make these claims, showcasing several screenshots that seem to indicate Ellsworth is at fault.
Since that time, both Ellsworth and Katie have issued statements. While Ellsworth denies the claims, Katie has provided an insight into whether she and her family will be pressing charges.
Katie took to Twitter, where she sent out a video detailing the events leading up to the nudes being sent by the former WWE Superstar. In that video, Katie explained that she asked for him to follow her on Twitter, and he obliged.
Katie says that Ellsworth sent her a message asking for her Snapchat name after she’d wished him luck on his upcoming match. At the time, she didn’t think it would do any harm and gave him the information.
In talking with us, Katie has sent through an image of that conversation and him following her Snapchat account at our request, as we sought to confirm the legitimacy of these claims.

It remains to be seen what does happen with this case, though it doesn’t look good for Ellsworth right now. Stay tuned to Ringside News for further updates as they become available.
