A judge dismisses a sexual assault lawsuit against ex-NFL kicker Brandon McManus and the Jaguars
Associated PressJACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A circuit court judge in Florida has dismissed a lawsuit two women filed against former NFL kicker Brandon McManus and the Jacksonville Jaguars that accused McManus of sexually assaulting them on the team’s overseas flight to London in 2023. “Most defendants in sexual assault cases file these types of motions thinking that the victims won’t proceed if they have to publicly reveal their names,” attorney Tony Buzbee said in a statement. We look forward to continuing to pursue this important case.” McManus’ attorney, Brett Gallaway, called the allegations “baseless.” “We look forward to him returning to the NFL playing field as soon as possible,” Gallaway said. The suit claimed the trip “quickly turned into a party” as McManus and other players disregarded the flight attendants’ personal space, air travel safety and federal law.
