Judge Dismisses Lawsuit Against Brandon McManus
News summary

A Florida judge dismissed a sexual assault lawsuit against former Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Brandon McManus because the plaintiffs, identified as Jane Doe I and Jane Doe II, did not use their real names. The judge ruled that the case did not meet the 'exceptional case' criteria needed for anonymity, emphasizing fairness and public interest. The women, who accused McManus of inappropriate behavior on a 2023 charter flight to London, were given 10 days to refile the complaint with their proper names, which they have done. McManus denies the allegations, and his attorney labels the lawsuit as a 'smear campaign.' The Jaguars have declined to comment on the case.
