Lincoln Adim’s History Exposed

Just one week before the show premiered in May, Lincoln was was found guilty of groping and assaulting a woman on a harbor cruise ship in 2016, the Suffolk County District Attorney's office in Massachusetts confirmed to E! News.

The show was criticized for not finding this information during their background check, with Lincoln even being selected as one of the five contestants to meet Becca early on Arie's After the Final Rose special.

"We employ a well-respected and highly experienced third party who has done thousands of background checks consistent with industry standards to do a nationwide background check in this case," Warner Bros. said in a statement. " The report we received did not reference any incident or charge relating to the recent conviction - or any other charges relating to sexual misconduct. We are currently investigating why the report did not contain this information, which we will share when we have it."

Lincoln was not invited to attend the Men Tell All special taping and his absence was not addressed by Chris Harrison.

"We wanted ["Men Tell All"] to remain about Becca, about the guys, and about this journey. And going there…this wasn't the time or place," Harrison explained to Glamour. "There really isn't much to explain about Lincoln other than he lied, he deceived, he committed a crime, he's not here, and he's removed from the show and the franchise."
