Wednesday, May 7, 2025 - Former WWE star, Michael Droese, has been arrested after allegedly trying to buy indecent images of children on the dark web.
According to the Daily Star, the wrestler, who was prominent
in the 1990s, is said to have tried to access the material using
cryptocurrency, but the FBI was tipped off about his plans.
Michael Droese, who was known as Duke 'The Dumpster' Droese
during his time in WWE, has been charged with one count of attempted aggravated
s£xual exploitation of a minor.
Warren County District Attorney General Chris Stanford
revealed the news in a statement, which read: 'Purchasing child sexual assault
material is an aggravated crime because the money used to purchase
the material is what continues to make child sexual assault material profitable
for criminal enterprises produce it and sell it across the world.
'However, because Mr Droese was unsuccessful in securing the
child sexual assault material he intended to purchase, the charge becomes a
Criminal Attempt. Thus, the decision was made to charge one count of Attempted
Aggravated Sexual Exploitation of a Minor.'
If found guilty, Droese could face between two and four years in jail.
