Professional MMA fighter Logan Storley was arrested in Key West after police accused him of sexually assaulting a woman in an alley near Duval Street following a night out at several bars in the city’s entertainment district.
Professional Fighters League confirmed Storley was no longer under contract with the promotion at the time of his arrest, although he had competed earlier this month.
According to the arrest report, the woman met Storley at the Bull and Whistle bar at around 3 a.m. She later told detectives she repeatedly tried to avoid him after he attempted to dance with her and encouraged her to go upstairs to the venue’s clothing-optional rooftop section, the Garden of Eden.
Police say the woman eventually left the bar without telling Storley, but he followed her outside and persuaded her to walk into an alley on Telegraph Lane. Detectives allege Storley then removed his clothes and had intercourse with the woman against her will.
Several employees from a nearby strip club reportedly witnessed the incident. Investigators say Storley ran away after noticing them, leaving his clothes behind before being stopped nearby by the club’s manager and taken to officers in the area.
The woman was transported for a sexual-assault examination, according to police. After officers read Storley his rights, he reportedly declined to answer questions without an attorney present.
Storley, 33, was booked into Monroe County jail on one count of sexual battery before later being released on a $50,000 bond. He has not publicly commented on the allegations.
The allegations arrive at a sensitive time for combat sports promotions and broadcasters, which have faced criticism in previous cases involving fighters accused of violent or sexual misconduct.
Originally from South Dakota, Storley built his reputation as a four-time NCAA Division-I All-American wrestler at the University of Minnesota before moving into professional MMA. His profile rose significantly after defeating Michael Page for the Bellator welterweight title in 2022, later advancing to the 2025 PFL welterweight tournament final.
