Professional mixed martial artist Logan Storley was arrested in Key West early Monday after police say a night out near Duval Street ended in a sexual battery in a nearby alley. Officers allege Storley attacked a woman, left his clothes behind and was held at the scene by a strip-club manager who saw what was happening. He was booked on a sexual-battery charge and later released on bond.
What police say
According to the arrest report, Storley met the woman at the Bull & Whistle, a three-story bar on Duval Street, and invited her up to the third-floor “Garden of Eden,” where clothing is optional. The woman told detectives she tried to steer clear of him, but the report states he followed her into an alley off Telegraph Lane, stripped naked and had intercourse with her against her will.
Employees at nearby Teasers reportedly saw part of the encounter, and the club’s manager detained Storley until officers arrived. The woman was taken to a health clinic for a sexual-assault examination. After being read his rights, Storley declined to talk to investigators without a lawyer, according to the arrest report detailed by the Miami Herald.
Storley's fighting background
Storley, 33, is known in combat-sports circles as a high-level wrestler turned pro grappler. He was a four-time NCAA Division I All-American at the University of Minnesota and later claimed an interim Bellator welterweight title in May 2022 before moving on to compete under the PFL banner. His PFL fighter profile lists several notable victories and states he advanced to the 2025 PFL welterweight world-tournament final, highlighting his status in the sport, according to PFL.
What the charge means under Florida law
Under Florida law, “sexual battery” refers to nonconsensual oral, anal or vaginal penetration and is charged as a felony. A conviction typically requires registration on the state’s sex-offender registry and can carry lengthy prison sentences, depending on the specifics of the case. Penalties and classifications vary based on factors such as the victim’s age, whether force was used and any prior convictions, in line with state law and legal summaries from FindLaw.
What happens next
Officials booked Storley into Monroe County’s main jail on Stock Island on a single count of sexual battery. A jail clerk told the Miami Herald that Storley posted a $50,000 bond and was released.
According to the outlet, police had not immediately issued a public statement, and Storley’s management did not respond to requests for comment. The case is now expected to move through Monroe County’s criminal courts as prosecutors review the arrest report and decide how to proceed.
