Sharrit dismissed the lawsuit against that accused McManus of sexually assaulting two women, who were seeking more than $1 million, during the team’s flight to London in 2023.McManus’ attorneys sought to have the lawsuit against him dismissed because the two women who are accusing him of sexual assault won’t identify themselves.
The unidentified women, who were working as flight attendants on the Jaguars Sept. 28, 2023, Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings charter flight, filed the lawsuit that claims McManus, 33, rubbed himself against them and was grinding on them during what was described as a party-like atmosphere on the flight. 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 for him.
An attorney for the Jaguars was at the court hearing and said the accuser’s stories just don’t make sense. According to court records filed last week, McManus’ attorneys argue that the “plaintiffs’ counsel cannot be permitted to use anonymity as a sword and shield in this manner.” “ concern is unfounded, unsupported by civil law, and is a heartless perversion of the Doe doctrine meant to protect individuals litigating against more powerful individuals and entities,” the attorneys for the women wrote.
