Vince McMahon Under Federal Investigation Over Sex Trafficking & Sexual Assault Allegations

As noted before, former WWE employee Janel Grant filed a lawsuit last week against TKO Group Executive Chairman Vince McMahon accusing McMahon of committing sex trafficking and sexual abuse towards her during her time in the company. McMahon officially resigned from TKO Group and WWE this past Friday.

The Wall Street Journal reported that their sources stated that McMahon is currently under a federal investigation in regards to the recent allegations made by Grant against him.

It was reported that federal prosecutors in New York have been in contact with other alleged victims of McMahon in recent months as part of their investigation.

Five women reportedly have been contacted and named so far as part of the grand jury subpoena and investigation into McMahon that has been on-going since 2022.

In regards to the other women named in the grand subpoena, it was reported:

“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.

It was reported that federal agents were looking for any documentation related to any of the allegations of “rape, sex trafficking, sexual assault, commercial sex transaction, harassment or discrimination” against either current or former WWE employees.

In an official statement to the Wall Street Journal, McMahon stated “I intend to vigorously defend myself against these baseless accusations, and look forward to clearing my name.”
