Two women are suing NFL kicker Brandon McManus and the Jacksonville Jaguars, alleging he sexually assaulted them during the team’s overseas flight to London last year, according to court documents obtained by ESPN.
The two women – identified as Jane Doe I and Jane Doe II in the lawsuit filed Friday night in Duval County Circuit Civil Court accuse McManus of rubbing himself against them and grinding against them.
They also accuse the Jaguars of failing to supervise McManus and failing to create a safe environment for staff serving the team.
They are seeking in excess of $1 million and are demanding a jury trial.
A statement from McManus or his attorney is likely to be released later Monday, a source told ESPN. The Jaguars declined to comment through a team spokesman. ESPN has also reached out to McManus’ agent, Drew Rosenhaus.
The Jaguars did not re-sign McManus this offseason; he signed a one-year, $3.6 million contract with the Washington Commanders on March 14.
“Earlier today, we were made aware of the civil lawsuit filed on May 24 against Brandon McManus. We take allegations of this nature very seriously and are looking into the matter,” the Commanders said in a statement. “We have been in communication with the League Office and Brandon’s representation, and will reserve further comment at this time.”
