Booker T Explains Why He Was Photographed With Chasyn Rance

A photo recently surfaced online of Booker T in the ring with Chasyn Rance.

Rance has been registered with the Florida Sex Offender Registry since 2014, resulting from a 2011 incident leading to a conviction for Lewd or Lascivious Battery of a victim between the ages of 12 and 15.

On social media, Booker explained why he was photographed with Rance.

"I’ve been a guest trainer at hundreds of wrestling schools over the years, helping to teach and mentor up-and-coming talent. I don’t conduct background checks on every trainer or individual I’ve crossed paths with or taken photos with along the way.

"This feels like a clear attempt to falsely associate me with something I have 100% nothing to do with and absolutely no knowledge of!

"Any student who’s trained with me can vouch for the kind of coach, mentor, and person I am. My record speaks for itself."

Rance was arrested on April 2nd for violating his sex offender registration. He trains and wrestles at Team Vision Dojo.
