According to court records obtained by ESPN, two women are suing kicker Brandon McManus and the Jacksonville Jaguars, claiming that McManus sexually attacked them during the team’s international flight to London last year.

The two ladies, who go by the names Jane Doe I and Jane Doe II in the case that was filed in Duval County Circuit Civil Court on Friday night, claim that McManus had been rubbing and grinding against them. In addition, they charge that the Jaguars neglected to oversee McManus and provide a secure working environment for team employees.

They are seeking in excess of $1 million and are demanding a jury trial.

Brandon McManus is now responding to the accusations through his lawyer.

McManus’ attorney, Brett R. Gallaway, said in a statement on Monday, “These are absolutely fictitious and demonstrably false allegations made as part of a campaign to defame and disparage a talented and well-respected NFL player. We intend to aggressively defend Brandon’s rights and integrity and clear his name by showing what these claims truly are — an extortion attempt.”

The kicker has been married to his wife Nadia McManus since 2016, and the couple have three kids together.

According to the lawsuit, the women were working as flight attendants on the Sept. 28, 2023, journey to London. The Jaguars were in London for two weeks, playing back-to-back games as part of the NFL’s international schedule. The first game took place at Wembley Stadium on Sunday, October 1st, versus the Atlanta Falcons.

It is said that the charter flight operated by Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings “quickly turned into a party.” The veteran kicker is accused of trying to entice three more flight attendants to the celebration by handing out $100 bills in an attempt to get them to drink and dance excessively, while Brandon McManus and other players disrespected the flight attendants’ personal space.

The women are seeking in excess of $1 million and are demanding a jury trial.
