John Doe #2 in Travolta Scandal Identified

The second unnamed accuser in the John Travolta sex scandal has finally been identified to the public. John Doe #2 is John Truesdale, who is 40. The massage therapist was the second person to accuse the actor of sexual battery earlier this year. Truesdale lives in Smyrna, Georgia and is a former high school football player and U.S. Army medic. In an interview, Truesdale said the following about his name being released to the public:

“I thought I was supposed to be anonymous. I can’t talk about [the case]. I’m not allowed to give any comment.”

Truesdale is a married man who is a father as well. In the lawsuit filed by Truesdale against Travolta he claims that Travolta assaulted him in his hotel room on January 28. Truesdale’s lawsuit was for $2 million but he recently pulled the lawsuit and fired his attorney. His attorney was Okorie Okorocha but has since hired Gloria Allred. Truesdale and Allred have not filed a new lawsuit as of yet.

The lawyer for Travolta, Marty Singer, denied the allegations from all of the accusers: “Not one penny has been paid nor do we have any intention to pay any money for these ridiculous and false claims.”

John Doe #1’s identity is still a mystery.
