LAS VEGAS-BASED INDEPENDENT WRESTLER ARRESTED IN CONNECTION TO SEX CRIMES AGAINST JUVENILE
Sexual Assault Suspect Arrested Detectives Seeking Additional Victims
On November 25, 2020, LVMPD detectives arrested 33-year-old John Washington in connection to sex crimes committed against a juvenile. The investigation revealed Washington may have had access to additional victims. Anyone who may have been a victim of Washington or has information about his crimes, is urged to contact the Sexual Assault Section at 702-828-3421. To remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers by phone at 702-385-5555, or on the internet at www.crimestoppersofnv.com
Washington is well known as Las Vegas-based independent professional wrestler Owen Travers, who last wrestled this past March. In recent years, he had been a regular for Future Stars of Wrestling in Las Vegas in the ring and behind the scenes but had been cut off by the promotion months ago amidst rumors of a legal issue, which obviously has been confirmed by his arrest.
Court records indicate Washington has been charged with several counts of sexual assault against a child under the age of 16, lewdness with a child under the age of 14 and lewd acts committed by personal over 18 with a child 14-15 years of age. He is scheduled to appear in court on 12/17.
Washington originally broke into the business in the Mid-West under Truth Martini in 2013, but had been Southwestern-based in recent years. He worked enhancement matches in the past for WWE and Impact Wrestling and in 2015, received a Ring of Honor tryout but was not hired.
