NFL kicker Brandon McManus accused of sexual assault in lawsuit - ESPN

Two women are suing kicker Brandon McManus and the Jacksonville Jaguars, alleging that McManus 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're 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 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.
