Two women have filed lawsuits in a Los Angeles court alleging that former heavyweight boxing

champion George Foreman sexually assaulted them in the 1970s. Since the claims were first made

public last month, Foreman, 73, has rejected them, and his representatives have pointed inquiries

regarding the cases to one of his prior statements. On Wednesday, the ladies filed separate cases in Los Angeles

County Superior Court using the aliases Gwen H. and Denise F. The claims refer to Foreman as

DOE 1, but they also identify him as the professional boxer who defeated Joe Frazier in 1973 to win

the heavyweight world championship before losing it to Muhammad Ali in 1974. Both women,

who are now in their early 60s, claimed that the reason they first encountered Foreman as kids was because

their fathers were Foreman's boxing partners. In her case, Denise, a resident of Los Angeles, claimed

that Foreman groomed her when she was 8 years old and engaged in sexual activity with her when she was

15 (under the legal age of consent), once in a hotel room in San Francisco. Gwen, a native of Nevada,

said that she first encountered Foreman when she was 9 years old and that he sexually assaulted and raped

her between the ages of 15 and 16, including at a Beverly Hills apartment. She claimed that Foreman warned

her that failure to cooperate would result in her father's termination as a boxing consultant.
