Denise, a resident of Los Angeles accused the former boxer of grooming her when she was 8 and having sex with her at age 15. Gwen, who lives in Nevada, is accusing Foreman of “sexually abusing and raping” her at the ages of 15 and 16, according to the report.
Foreman denied the allegations when they were made public last month, telling the outlet he “will not be intimidated by baseless threats and lies” and that he doesn’t “pick fights” but also doesn’t “run away from them either.”
