Peyton Manning, ex-Tennessee trainer filed lawsuits in 2005, website reports

According to reports, the 39-year-old was cited in the new suit, filed by six “Jane Doe” women last week, arguing that the university allowed a “hostile sexual environment” to endure on campus.

The lawsuit, filed under Title 9, references one allegation involving Peyton Manning during his time as a star college quarterback at Tennessee, reports CBS Sports Network’s Dana Jacobson. Manning allegedly then proceeded to scoot down the training table while Naughright examined his foot.

However, the complaint does detail Manning’s incident on February 29, 1996, when he would have been in the spring semester of his sophomore season.

The past two months have rocked the emotions of Peyton Manning and his family.

It’s important to note that although Manning claims he mooned Naughright, she says Manning went way further than that.

Following the HGH allegations being made against Manning in the Al Jazeera report back in December, ESPN refused to point the finger at him and assume guilt until proven innocent like they did with Tom Brady during “Deflategate.’ This is something that raised some eyebrows and discussions of possible bias that ESPN and the rest of the national media had when it came to credibility and reporting on stories containing certain athletes”.

Manning twice taunted Naughright about the incident at later dates, pulling his trousers down and sitting on another person’s face while she was in sight.

Silverman also reported that Manning, in a book he co-wrote with his father, described his actions as inappropriate but felt Naughright should have laughed off the up-close display and viewed it as “crude, maybe, but harmless”.

Manning claims that he “mooned” Naughright and it was “inappropriate”.

Naughright later left Tennessee as part of a financial settlement.

According to Shaun King of the New York Daily News, in court documents from 2003 that were recently obtained, it was alleged that in 1996, Manning sexually assaulted Dr. Jamie Naughright, who was serving as the associate athletic trainer for the Volunteers football program.

In the lawsuit, the plaintiffs name Tennessee athletics director Dave Hart and football coach Butch Jones among those who were “personally aware” of previous sexual assaults and rapes committed by football players, but protected the interest of the football team rather than the victims of the crimes. He took the judge’s closing assertion, that a jury MIGHT be able to find sufficient evidence of defamation and actual malice IF the case went to trial, as a definitive judgment, which Mike Florio pointed out was a fundamental misunderstanding of the American legal system. Still, Naughright hit the University with a suit in 1997, which was later settled.

“I am here to reveal and explain how Peyton unfairly benefits from a system only available to him and his white peers”, King wrote on his Facebook page. Active NFL players are prohibited from pitching alcohol, so it was widely interpreted that Manning is planning to retire. It takes a deep look into the 74-page document the Naughright lawyers put together in her defamation case – later settled for an undisclosed sum – against the Mannings in connection with their book’s publication.

The statutes of limitation have expired and reaching a settlement is not an admission of guilt.
