Andre Carroll, once an England international who scored a club-record signing for Liverpool in 2011 as a replacement for Fernando Torres, is today, aged 37, a player and joint owner of Dagenham & Redbridge, a club in the English National League. Carroll recently revealed drama he went through in 2021, where he indicated that he was sexually assaulted five years ago by a familiar person who he described as a “famous friend” of his ex-partner.

Carroll explains that the assailant was sentenced to three years in prison for the sex crimes. The former Liverpool and Newcastle player published his latest literary work, entitled “Owning It,” where he indicated that he decided to include this painful experience after long conversations with his publisher and current partner.

Carroll talks about the difficulty of discussing this topic, as he recounts in his book: “I was sexually assaulted.” It is reported that he was assaulted after a night of playing with his former club, Newcastle, when the man came to his house and prepared drinks in the kitchen. Carroll feels dizzy and wonders if the person put drugs in his drink. The assailant asked to stay in the guest room, and when Carroll lay down to rest, he woke up to find his assailant under the duvet trying to have sex with him.

Carroll responded by hitting the assailant and kicking him out of the house, before informing the police and the nanny. When the police arrived, the assailant regained consciousness and claimed that Carroll had hit him for no reason. Both were taken to the police station, where the assailant was later found guilty by the court and imprisoned.

Carroll described the legal process as "humiliating, embarrassing and absolutely horrific", as his attacker denied everything. The legal proceedings continued for two years, and only his ex-partner and her family knew what happened. When police told him his attacker had been convicted, Carroll began crying uncontrollably.

“The shock of what happened to me has not gone away yet,” explains Carroll, who added that the experience negatively affected his concentration in football. After discussing the matter with his current partner, Lou Tisdale, the two decided that revealing this experience might help others who had similar experiences.

“If talking about it helps even one person, it will be worth it,” Carroll writes in his autobiography. Carroll also discusses other aspects of his life in his book, such as his problems with alcohol and the impact of his salary increase to £200,000 a week.

Carroll was also found guilty of breaching a restraining order after being accused of repeatedly contacting his ex-partner, Only We Are Essex star Billie Mucklow, and the case is set to be heard in January next year.

What's next?

Carroll's book 'Owning It' is expected to spark discussions about sexual assault and its impact on athletes. Revealing this experience may also lead to greater support for survivors of assault, and may contribute to changing how clubs, including clubs in the English Premier League, deal with such issues.
