According to The Sun, 37-year-old former England striker Andy Carroll has revealed that he experienced sexual assault years ago and has written about the experience in his new memoir titled "Owning It".

Carroll has stated that he cannot simply forget the traumatic experience. He consulted with his girlfriend Lu Teasdale, 42, about whether to publicly disclose the incident, but after staying away from the publisher for a long time, he ultimately decided "at the last minute" to include the experience in his book.

Carroll hopes that sharing his experience will help others. He wrote in the memoir: "There are things I really wanted to forget, but I can't.

"Something that happened to me a few years ago was very painful, and I only decided at the last minute to include it in this book.

"I was sexually assaulted, and I'm talking about it now. It's still frightening when I think about it, and only a few people knew about it before.

"Lu and I spent a lot of time discussing whether to include this in the book.

"I avoided the publisher for so long they probably thought I'd pulled out.

"It's scary to talk about, but it's like other good experiences that have shaped me into who I am today.

"If telling this story can help even one person, it will have been worth it."
