NFL Kicker Brandon McManus Faces Sexual Assault Lawsuit by Two Women

Brandon McManus, a football player, is being sued by two women who worked as flight attendants for the Jacksonville Jaguars. They say McManus sexually assaulted them on a team flight to London last year. The women, known as Jane Doe I and Jane Doe II, claim that McManus touched them inappropriately during the flight. They say McManus behaved badly, throwing money at them and making them feel uncomfortable. The women are seeking over $1 million in damages and want a trial with a jury. The incident happened when the Jaguars were flying to London for games in 2023. McManus, who was part of the team at the time, allegedly made unwanted advances towards the flight attendants. The women say McManus tried to kiss one of them and acted inappropriately towards both of them. They felt upset and embarrassed by his actions. The lawsuit states that the women suffered mental and emotional distress because of what happened. The Washington Commanders, McManus' current team, have acknowledged the lawsuit and are investigating the matter seriously. They are in contact with the NFL and McManus' representatives. McManus, who had a successful season with the Jaguars last year, has not yet commented on the allegations. The Jaguars have also not responded to media inquiries about the incident. The lawsuit describes how the flight turned into a chaotic situation, with McManus and other players disregarding the flight attendants' personal space and behaving inappropriately. The women felt uncomfortable and distressed by the players' actions. The lawsuit seeks to hold McManus and the Jaguars accountable for the women's suffering and demands justice for what they experienced.
