Former England forward Andy Carroll has disclosed in his autobiography, Owning It, that he was sexually assaulted by a man at his home in 2021. The 37-year-old stated that the incident occurred during a second spell at Newcastle, when a friend of his former partner, who was staying away at the time, attacked him while he slept. Although Carroll was automatically granted anonymity as a victim of sexual assault, he chose to share the details in his book.

The attacker was found guilty of sexual offences after Carroll testified in court. Following the conviction, the man was jailed for three years.
