The Jacksonville Jaguars and current Washington Commanders kicker Brandon McManus are being sued by two women alleging they were sexually assaulted on a team plane to London, England last season, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The Jaguars took a plane over to London for their two week stint in which they played the Atlanta Falcons and Buffalo Bills.
ESPN's Michael DiRocco provided more details about the lawsuit.
According to the lawsuit, the two women worked as flight attendants on the Jaguars' Sept. 28, 2023, Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings charter flight and they allege the flight 'quickly turned into a party' as McManus and several other players disregarded the flight attendants' personal space, air travel safety, and federal law. The lawsuit also claims that McManus recruited three other flight attendants to the party and passed out $100 bills to encourage them to drink and dance inappropriately for him.
The lawsuit, which was filed on Friday, alleges that McManus "rubbed and grinded" against them and the Jaguars for not creating a safe environment. The two women are asking for $1 million and a jury trial. At this time, there aren't statements from either McManus or the Jaguars. We will update you on this story as more details emerge.
