Adrien Broner arrested for Sexual Battery

Adrien Broner arrested again! - Allegedly 'inappropriately groped' woman at shopping mall

Adrien Broner was arrested by police in Atlanta on Monday night as the multi-weight champion found himself in trouble again.

'The Problem' just can't seem to stay off the radar of the authorities having been taken into custody several times over the last few years.

According to TMZ Sports, Broner allegedly sexually assaulted a woman at a shopping mall before being picked up by security soon after.

The woman claimed Broner 'inappropriately groped her' before the pair engaged in a heated war of words captured on camera.

Broner denied any wrongdoing but was subsequently charged with misdemeanor sexual battery and taken to Fulton County Jail with a 9am court date set for Tuesday morning.

wow, talk about throwing it all away

[boxing_rocks]

Broner needs groping training, so that next time he does it appropriately.

This woman could just be some attention seeker who recognised him and thought hey, the media are always up for a good Broner story.

Yeah ok I know Broner is Broner and there's no smoke without fire but, as far as I can see, it is still only an allegation at this stage so let's not be so quick to judge.

[Enlightened-One]

I can’t help thinking that Broner’s controversial money-spinning villainous persona, coupled with him committing a few misdemeanours, has led to a clamouring of multiple women seeking to exploit his situation for financial purposes.

Also, TMZ have a proven track record of publishing articles that contain unsubstantiated claims that are subsequently proven to be ficticious.

Perhaps I’m wrong, maybe Broner really is a pervert, but something doesn’t seem quite right about the nature of TMZ’s video and article.

Committing a sex crime in a crowded public mall and then back and forth arguing between the two seems very odd.

Usually when a woman is assaulted, she'll scream and flee when she can.

Here the victim stayed and engaged in a "heated war of words" with Broner.

Something here doesn't add up.

[jamamb]

looks in his 40s

[jamamb]

well i dont think we reallyknow much to say strongly we know he did or didnt do it here, but it does seem trendy to claim youve been mee too'd

[chuck9788]

In 2018, who can honestly admit to being an Adrien Broner fan?!? It's basically like admitting that you are an @sshole!

Broner has a scheduled fight vs Omar Figueroa (27-0-1, 19 KO's) coming up in April, and this jerk is in shopping mall's getting into legal trouble?!?

Figueroa needs to rid us all of this "problem".

As long as Broner keeps pulling viewers The Problem will be around.

It seems as though he grabbed her and she got really pissed off. If a woman thinks she is going to be raped, she'll flee if she can but if she's unconsensually groped in a place she feels safe -- that looks about right.

btw omar got arrested on jan 29 for driving under the influence. he was listed at 170 pounds.

i want ppl to remember the damage that driving under alchol can do. many great people and also young ppl with their lives ahead of them have been shipped to shreds and broken to pieces by ppl who couldnt just call a cab.

[Lackeos]

I feel like 6 crimes ago, we were here discussing the subject of Broner being a habitual criminal.

You're insult fails to bother me.

When Broner fights, I'm in his corner. I have been since he was a rising prospect.

Why? Because he entertains me in the ring. And I enjoy his promotional tactics.

His personal life and behavior is not my concern. If he does wrong, then he'll pay his dues.

You do realize that the world of boxing isn't inhabited by saints. There are plenty fighters, some quite famous, out there who have run afoul of the law on numerous occasions.

Some have served time for very serious charges.

It's part of boxing's history.

I even suspect that some of these unsavory characters are even fighters that you probably root for, Chuck.

So what does that make you?

[Ruthless-RKO]

Broner said he refused to take a picture

[SenorPipino]

With the sexual assault climate being what it is in recent months (at least here in the US where you now stand to lose your job if you simply complimented a women on her looks ...20 years ago) I have a hunch that SHOWTIME will play the politically correct role and refuse Broner as an opponent for Omar Figueroa in April.

Broner has been charged with misdemeanor sexual battery and is free on $2000 bail..

SHOWTIME will grandstand and issue some statement proclaiming that it can't condone that type of behaviour aimed at women, and will not reward Broner with an opportunity while the case is pending.

Naturally the network will neglect to mention that it has conveniently overlooked Broner's prior criminal transgressions along with any and all crimes committed by other boxers who have appeared on it's telecast.

That's because those crimes weren't trendy like sexual harassment is these days.

If all this comes to pass, Broner will sue, I'm certain, unless SHOWTIME agrees to ample compensation.

This is exactly the kind of opinion that needs to change. I'm no feminist but i happen to love women very much and respect and am completely behind the current movement that you apparently are oblivious to with this kind of comment. Of all people, EO demands proof and facts for any opinion under the sun, but he'll dare to make the dumbest post of his career without knowing one thing about the situation or the young lady involved. Broner has a history of disrespect to woman to figure into this equation while you know nothing about the woman but you somehow come to the opinion that the woman is on a money grab. it's 2018 EO, get your act together or you might stay single forever.

Nah. Networks only do that when they know their viewers will be offended by such antics but we, boxing fans, don't care. We will still be tuning in. So I doubt Showtime will pull the fight.

TMZ has a proven track-record of making unsubstantiated claims about certain boxers that are subsequently proven to be fictitious. That is in itself is an irrefutable fact and one that is exceptionally easy to prove.

I also believe that people should be deemed as “innocent until proven guilty”. That is how the legal system works globally.

I flatly refuse to jump on the trendy and politically-correct “#MeToo” movement bandwagon, by automatically assuming guilt without possessing any evidence whatsoever, based on an accusation that has not yet been proven to be true by a courtroom.

In my opinion, the nature of the allegation itself seems rather odd given the celebrity status of the alleged guilty party, coupled with the environment the infraction supposedly occurred in. There is nothing wrong with questioning the circumstances that TMZ described

There are people in this world, regardless of gender, that will exploit others for financial gain. That is a fact! I simply proposed the notion that this situation could possibly be another example of this.

It is not possible for you to quote any remarks that I have articulated to this forum that proves that I am disrespectful towards women and you should apologise for the nature of your fictional derogatory claims you’ve just made about me.

[gilgamesh]

Absolute dumbass. I wonder how much money he's lost already to legal expenses? By the end of Broner's Boxing career his lawyer is going to have made more than he has

I don't think it's quite that simple.

Sure the unenlightened public probably considers the average boxing fan a Neanderthal, whose only interest in life is the next big fight.

Boxing fans, as a whole aren't supposed to have a moral compass so they'll still eagerly tune to the next Broner fight regardless of what he does outside the ring.

But while SHOWTIME, a non-commercial premium cable network, may not be beholden to outside forces, it's parent company, CBS, certainly is. They crave sponsors. Sponsors pay the bills.

CBS is obliged to keep those sponsors happy. And once those sponsors catch wind that a prominent fighter charged with sexual assault is appearing on SHOWTIME, they'll want to bail. That's the nature of today.

Especially if the usual irate women's groups demand CBS pull Broner from the main event, under the threat of a sponsor boycott.

Once that tumult breaks out, you can damn well count on CBS ordering SHOWTIME sports honcho Stephen Espinoza to dump Broner.

Of course maybe Broner will be too busy with his criminal case and will pull himself from the fight on his own. That would easily solve CBS/SHOWTIME's conundrum.

But whether Broner decides to personally withdraw from the Figueroa bout or SHOWTIME makes the decision for him, rest assured that under our current climate, Adrien Broner will not appear on any boxing telecasts for the foreseeable future.

I see your CBS point but I doubt Broner's upcoming fight will be cancelled or taken off Showtime.

Showtime needs him. He was one of their top rated views-getter last year.

[BoxBuzz]

The following is a law of the "new physics".
It is irrefutable, and is now an unshakeable part of the new world order.


If one has been accused
One must have abused.



That's the new reality. Get used to it.

Let's not be confused by any set of alternative facts that may erroneously indicate otherwise.

That's rich. You will afford that type of blind support for a pillar of society like Broner who has been so law abiding and respectful to women. You're a child and too ignorant to stoop low enough to discuss this with you on my spare time. I'm not on the clock and I expect to be paid when I educate. If i can leave you with any tidbits or helpers on the house? Do yourself a favor and don't ever label this movement "trendy" when discussing it in public or god forbid with a woman, should one ever dare want to share time with you. The many years of rape and abuse of women is not and never will be "trendy", you imbecile. Maybe your ignorance is a reflection of where you're from or who raised you but your attitude is exactly the reason for the movement and you are exactly the type of person that needs to change as a result of it.
