Pro Football Hall of Famer and media personality Shannon Sharpe is facing a lawsuit, accused of sexual assault and battery, and engaging in the intentional infliction of emotional distress.

The lawsuit was filed Sunday in Clark County, Nevada, and obtained by USA TODAY Sports. The plaintiff, listed under the alias "Jane Doe," said she was in a relationship with Sharpe for nearly two years, and it began as a "rocky consensual relationship."

The woman, who is seeking $50 million in damages, said she met Sharpe at a Los Angeles gym in 2023 when she was 19 and alleges in the lawsuit that Sharpe, who is currently 56 years old, sexually assaulted her twice, once in October 2024 and again in January 2025.
