A North Georgia man who has worked for years on the independent pro wrestling scene around the Peach State is under investigation and at the center of controversy.

An investigation has been launched into Ben Forbes , better known as Stryk Nyn to the wrestling community in Georgia. The investigation centers around his alleged behavior toward an underage girl.

A Facebook Page posted screen shots of Forbes allegedly engaged in a sexually explicit conversation with a decoy, posing as a 15 year old girl. Following that the Royston, Georgia Police Department opened an investigation.

The PD has confirmed with me that an accusation was made against Forbes about a week ago involving one victim in the Royston jurisdiction and that they have been investigating since.

Alternative Pro Wrestling in North Georgia cut ties with Forbes while he still held a title belt in the company. Other promotions he has worked for have also, severed working partnerships.

The Royston PD says, thus far no formal charges have been filed against Ben Forbes.
