A civil lawsuit accusing former WWE CEO Vince McMahon of abuse, sexual assault and sex trafficking will proceed, attorneys for the plaintiff shared on Thursday.
Former WWE employee Janel Grant alleges that McMahon coerced her into sex with the promise of employment, shared private and explicit pictures of her with others and sexually assaulted her. Grant filed the lawsuit in January but the Department of Justice asked Grant to stay her suit for 6 months as it pursued a criminal case against McMahon. That stay expired earlier this month.
