A former employee accuses McMahon of abusing him

A former World Wrestling Entertainment employee filed a lawsuit Thursday against the company, its founder Vince McMahon and a former WWE executive accusing the men of sex trafficking and abuse.

Janel Grant, a former employee of WWE, said in the lawsuit that she was ā€œthe victim of physical and emotional abuse, sexual assault and trafficking at WWE.ā€ The suit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut.

ā€œTodayā€™s complaint seeks to hold accountable two WWE executives who sexually assaulted and trafficked Plaintiff Janel Grant, as well as the organization that facilitated or turned a blind eye to the abuse and then swept it under the rug,ā€ Ann Callis, an attorney for Grant, said in a statement to NBC News. ā€œShe is an incredibly private and courageous person who has suffered deeply at the hands of Mr. McMahon and Mr. Laurinaitis.ā€

Callis said Grant hopes the lawsuit will prevent other women from being victimized.

A spokesperson for McMahon said the lawsuit is ā€œreplete with lies, obscene made-up instances that never occurred, and a vindictive distortion of the truth. He will vigorously defend himself.ā€
