The Washington Commanders on Sunday released kicker Brandon McManus, seven days after a lawsuit that was filed against him became public alleging sexual assault from an incident that occurred when he was a member of the Jacksonville Jaguars.
John Keim covers the Washington Commanders for ESPN. He joined ESPN in 2013 after a stint with the Washington Post. He started covering the team in 1994 for the Journal Newspapers and later for the Washington Examiner. He has authored/co-authored four books.
The 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. In a statement Monday night McManus' attorney, Brett R. Gallaway, called the allegations"absolutely fictitious" and"demonstrably false allegations." Gallaway also labeled the case an"extortion attempt."
