Former WWE star and attorney David Otunga has analyzed the new footage of Montez Ford’s “sexually provocative dance” against a security guard on “WWE Raw.”
Ford is being sued by Noel LucasThe security guard who claimed he was “unwantedly groped” on July 6 “rawAfter viewing the footage of Ford’s alleged assault and battery from a different angle, Otunga admitted that Lucas had a case.
“These are civil lawsuits, so we’re talking about liability and damages. They are not criminal. Now, I still think Montes was entertaining the crowd and trying to get Lucas to break that serious expression and try to get him to laugh. But you can try to make someone laugh and cross the legal line,” he said. YouTube channel. “This new footage appears to show repeated contact. Lucas says he disagreed, and a jury could reasonably find unwanted contact in a sexual dance offense. Now, battery doesn’t need a bruise or a broken bone.”
Otunga presented arguments for both sides, noting that Lucas could claim Ford rubbed up against him without permission, while the WWE star could claim “the contact was incidental to the dance.” However, the former WWE wrestler noted that the repeated contact was significant and that the rules regarding battery apply equally to men and women.
“A man should not accept contact, we will immediately ask if it happens to a woman. The basic rule of thumb for a battery is the same. Being a man, a security guard or being able-bodied doesn’t mean you have to laugh it off and just accept it,” he said.
Otunga concluded by suggesting that WWE could settle the case, noting that a settlement does not necessarily mean that the accused has admitted guilt. This isn’t the first time a wrestler has faced a lawsuit, as AEW’s John Moxley was also recently sued the production crew member who claimed Moxley pushed her and cause injury.
