Arrest Details and Allegations
On May 18 2026, Monroe County police in Key West booked professional mixed-martial-arts fighter Logan Storley, 33, on one count of sexual battery. The arrest report says the incident began at the Bull and Whistle strip club on Duval Street, where Storley allegedly persuaded a woman to go to the third-floor “Garden of Eden” bar, then followed her to an alley on Telegraph Lane and engaged in non-consensual intercourse while naked. Employees of the nearby Teasers strip bar witnessed the encounter.
Victim’s Account and Witness Testimony
The woman told detectives Storley was “trying to dance with her, but ‘wanted to get away.’” She said he asked her to “get naked,” which she refused. When she danced close to another patron “in an effort to avoid him,” she left. The report says Storley pursued her into the alley, where the assault occurred. Teasers staff observed the incident and identified Storley as the naked individual who fled.
