The women, who are identified in court documents as Jane Doe 1 and Jane Doe 2, alleged that McManus, who was playing for the Jaguars at the time, sexually assaulted them on the flight. They claimed that the incident occurred during a party on the plane. The judge’s decision comes after a lengthy legal battle, with the women initially filing the lawsuit in August 2023. The judge’s decision is based on the fact that the women did not provide sufficient evidence to support their claims. The judge’s decision is significant because it sets a precedent for future cases involving sexual assault allegations against public figures.
05/20/2023. The Commanders released McManus after the allegations surfaced. The Commanders’ decision to release McManus was likely influenced by the public pressure and negative publicity surrounding the allegations. The allegations against McManus were made by a former teammate, who claimed that he had been sexually harassing and abusing his teammates for years. The allegations were made public in May 2023, and the Commanders released McManus shortly after.
