Derek Chance, the attorney for AJ Ferrari has released the following statement to FloWrestling:
“The allegations against AJ are false.
“It is unfortunate that a student athlete can become a target, primarily because of their status as an elite athlete. AJ is cooperating with law enforcement and is confident the truth will come out. He appreciated his time at Oklahoma State, but he and the University mutually agreed a change was appropriate.”

Chance also shared with FloWrestling that there is a hearing regarding an Emergency Protective Order on Monday, July 18th, but that this hearing is unlikely to occur on this date. We will update this story as developments arise.
