NFL kicker Brandon McManus sexual assault allegations
NFL kicker Brandon McManus sexual harassment accusations.
Accident – Death – Obituary News :
Two female flight attendants have filed a civil lawsuit in Florida against NFL kicker Brandon McManus, alleging that he sexually assaulted them during a trans-Atlantic flight with the Jacksonville Jaguars to London last year. The lawsuit, filed on Friday, seeks in excess of £1 million in damages and names McManus and the team as defendants.
The women, identified as Jane Doe I and Jane Doe II, claim that McManus attempted to kiss one of them and behaved inappropriately towards both of them while they were trying to carry out their duties on the September 28 flight. The lawsuit was made available on the Duval County Circuit Court’s public records database on Tuesday.
Legal representation and response
Attorney Tony Buzbee, known for representing women in high-profile cases, is leading the legal counsel for the flight attendants. Buzbee stated on social media that efforts to resolve the matter outside of court were met with resistance from McManus and his team.
Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson expressed disappointment upon learning of the allegations, stating that a typical flight is a business trip and should be treated as such. McManus’ lawyer vehemently denied the accusations, calling them “absolutely fictitious and demonstrably false.”
Response from the teams
The Washington Commanders, with whom McManus signed in March, are investigating the situation and have liaised with the NFL office regarding the matter. The Jaguars, on the other hand, acknowledged the complaint and stressed the importance of integrity and character within the organization.
As the investigation continues, both teams have reiterated their commitment to upholding the highest standards of conduct within the NFL community.
Conclusion
The allegations made against Brandon McManus are serious and have prompted a thorough investigation by both the Washington Commanders and the Jacksonville Jaguars. The outcome of this case will have significant implications for the reputation of the players and the teams involved.
