Vince McMahon and WWE Face Lawsuit Over Historical Sexual Abuse Allegations

A new lawsuit accuses Vince McMahon, Linda McMahon, and WWE of enabling and ignoring the abuse of young boys by a former employee in the 1980s and 1990s.

The lawsuit, filed in Baltimore County, alleges that former WWE announcer Melvin Phillips Jr. exploited underage boys hired as 'Ring Boys' for sexual purposes.
Vince and Linda McMahon, along with WWE and its parent company TKO Holdings, are accused of being aware of the abuse but failing to take action.
The allegations claim Phillips targeted boys from disadvantaged backgrounds, promising them access to famous wrestlers and events as a lure.
The suit is made possible by a recent change in Maryland law that removes the statute of limitations for child sex abuse claims.
Vince McMahon resigned from his executive positions earlier this year amidst separate allegations of sexual misconduct.
