Former World Wrestling Entertainment CEO Vince McMahon, 79, is at the center of a sexual abuse lawsuit, according to NBC News.

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

The 79-year-old is said to have known that a former WWE announcer used his position to lure young boys to work on the ring team with the promise of meeting famous wrestlers.

It’s the latest in a series of allegations of wrongdoing against McMahon and WWE.

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

The former CEO called the allegations in both cases false.
