Former Liverpool Striker Andy Carroll Says He Was Sexually Assaulted in 'Traumatic' Attack
Carroll says the attacker was later jailed for three years and placed on the sex offender register after a police investigation.
- 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.
