Sad news has struck the Detroit Tigers community as former player and current broadcaster Craig Monroe faces serious allegations of sexual abuse. A 35-year-old woman has accused Monroe of grooming and sexually abusing her starting from when she was 12 years old. The allegations claim that the abuse began while Monroe was living with her family during his time in a minor league organization in Florida and continued for several years.

These allegations have led to an active investigation by the Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office in Florida. In response to the accusations, Monroe has been indefinitely removed from his broadcasting duties with Bally Sports Detroit. Both Monroe and his legal team have vehemently denied the allegations, asserting his innocence and expressing confidence that the investigation will clear his name.

The situation is ongoing, and both the Detroit Tigers and Bally Sports Detroit have emphasized their commitment to taking these allegations seriously and cooperating with law enforcement. Fans and the broader baseball community are deeply saddened by these developments, as Monroe has been a prominent figure in Detroit sports for many years, both on the field and as a broadcaster
