Federal Prosecutors Interview Multiple Women Accusing Vince McMahon of Sexual Misconduct – The Wall Street Journal is reporting that the sexual assault and sex trafficking allegations made against Vince McMahon are being investigated by prosecutors in New York who have been in contact with women who have accused the former WWE CEO.
Last Summer, a search warrant was executed for McMahon’s phone and he was issued a subpoena related to the allegations of “rape, sex trafficking, sexual assault, commercial sex transaction, harassment or discrimination.”
The WSJ notes that the grand jury subpoena names Grant and at least four other women who entered settlement agreements with McMahon over sexual misconduct and the women have been interviewed by prosecutors.
Per the WSJ:
“The other women named in the grand jury subpoena include a WWE contractor whom McMahon allegedly sent unsolicited nude photos and sexually harassed; a former WWE wrestler who said McMahon coerced her into giving him oral sex; former WWE referee Rita Chatterton, who publicly accused McMahon of raping her; a spa manager who said McMahon assaulted her at a Southern California resort; and a former WWE employee who alleged the head of talent relations at the company at the time, John Laurinaitis, demoted her after she broke off an affair with him.”
Laurinaitis has denied wrongdoing and has claimed to be a victim of McMahon. UPDATED with McMahon’s statement: “I intend to vigorously defend myself against these baseless accusations, and look forward to clearing my name.”
