In a shocking turn of events, former Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Brandon McManus is facing a lawsuit filed by two flight attendants who allege that he sexually assaulted them during a team flight to London last year. The lawsuit, filed in Duval County Circuit Civil Court, seeks damages of over $1 million for the severe emotional distress and humiliation experienced by the women.

According to ESPN, McManus allegedly made inappropriate advances towards the flight attendants, attempting to grind against them. When one of the women confronted him, McManus reportedly smirked and walked away. The flight, which was transporting the Jaguars for games against the Falcons and the Bills, was described as quickly turning into a party atmosphere.

The lawsuit further claims that the Jaguars failed to adequately supervise McManus and create a safe environment for their staff. However, the Jaguars declined to comment on the matter. McManus, who currently plays for the Commanders, has not yet released a statement regarding the allegations.

In response to the lawsuit, the Commanders stated that they take such allegations very seriously and are actively investigating the matter. They have been in communication with the league office and McManus's representation. The Commanders will refrain from making any further comments at this time.

The details provided in the lawsuit paint a disturbing picture of events during the flight. According to ESPN, McManus allegedly recruited three other flight attendants to participate in the party-like atmosphere by giving them $100 bills and encouraging inappropriate behavior. The incidents of alleged sexual assault occurred while one of the women was seated and during meal services.

The second woman reportedly remained distant from McManus during the return flight from London to Jacksonville, choosing to stay on the second floor of the plane. These incidents have left both women deeply traumatized, experiencing severe mental anguish, anxiety, and emotional distress.

Brandon McManus, who is entering his 11th season in the NFL, signed a one-year deal worth $3.6 million with the Commanders. This lawsuit could have significant consequences for his future in the league.

As the case unfolds, it remains to be seen how the allegations against McManus will be resolved and what impact, if any, it will have on his career as well as the reputation of the Jaguars organization. The legal proceedings will shed further light on this disturbing incident, ultimately determining the course of justice for the flight attendants involved.
