NFL Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe has been accused of rape in a $50 million civil lawsuit by a woman using the pseudonym “Jane Doe,” alleging a litany of offenses including sexual battery and assault.
The 13-page suit was filed Sunday in a Nevada court and obtained by the New York Post. It alleges that the ESPN analyst committed assault, sexual assault, battery, sexual battery, and intentionally inflicted emotional distress, all during a “rocky consensual relationship.” The relationship was with a woman more than 30 years younger and lasted for two years.
