Former boxing champion Victor Ortiz discussed his harrowing experience with assault charges and their eventual dismissal. In 2018, Ortiz faced a potential 26-year sentence. During the ordeal, he alleged it was a calculated setup, aiming to ruin him financially. Ortiz vehemently maintained his innocence, stating he never had sexual relations with the accuser. He also claimed the district attorney's office hid information while his finances dwindled due to legal fees. The accuser demanded $1.7 million for a settlement, an amount Ortiz refused to pay, leading to further financial strain. Despite the civil lawsuit also being dismissed, Ortiz reported severe financial and emotional tolls. However, he revealed that the experience brought him closer to his faith and helped him eliminate toxic influences from his life. Ortiz concluded by stressing the importance of choosing your true family and surrounding oneself with genuinely supportive people.
