Vince McMahon, 79, the former CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment, is at the center of a sexual misconduct-related lawsuit. According to NBC News.

The lawsuit alleges that McMahon knowingly allowed a WWE employee to sexually abuse children in the 1980s.

The 79-year-old actor reportedly knew that a former WWE ringside announcer was using his position to lure young men to work on the ring crew with the promise of meeting famous wrestlers.

This is the latest in a series of allegations of misconduct against McMahon and WWE.

In 2023, McMahon paid a multimillion-dollar settlement to a former employee who accused him of raping her in 1986.

In both cases, the former CEO said the allegations were false.
