The man Terry Crews accused of sexual assault is back at work and the actor is not about to let him get a pass. 

Crew took to Twitter to share the text message he sent his agent after allegedly being sexually assaulted by WME’s Adam Venit.

In the text, Crews accuses Venit of being “doped up” and groping him in front of his wife. “I wish I was making this up,” Crews added. “I kept my peace but I ran outta there. This wasn’t drunk bro. I know drunk. It was like bath salts or something.”

The actual text to my agent Brad Slater at @WME 28 hours after my February 4th 2016 assault by the agency's Adam Venit.

Yet WME's Co-Chairman @AriEmanuel says he didn't know anything about anyone until my tweets 18 MONTHS LATER.

In his tweet, Crews also expresses shock that WME’s co-chairman Ari Emanuel claims he didn’t know about the incident until Crews tweeted about it. 

Back in October, Crews came forward with his story of assault following the massive revelations about Harvey Weinstein and various men in Hollywood. 

The actor added that he understands why many sexual assault victims don’t come forward, but hopes to inspire other’s to come forward.
