Former Minnesota Vikings quarterback accused of sexual harassment

Former Minnesota Vikings quarterback Warren Moon is currently being sued for sexual harassment by a former assistant of his.

If anyone has been living under a rock recently, the amount of notable people being accused of sexual harassment has seen a dramatic increase in the past few months. Everyone from successful Hollywood producers to United States senators have found themselves being revealed to the public for some of the embarrassing acts they have committed in their past.

Well now, a former NFL quarterback is among those being accused of sexual harassment according to a report by the Washington Post. It was revealed on Wednesday that former Minnesota Vikings signal caller Warren Moon is being sued by one of his former female assistants for sexual harassment.

Moon’s accuser is a woman who was previously employed by the former player’s sports marketing company, Sports 1 Marketing (creative name…) based in Irvine, California. She began working for the company last July as an executive assistant and would go on business trips with Moon when the former player was asked to attend various events across the country.

What she is accusing Moon of doing on these trips is some pretty disappointing stuff.

"“According to the new lawsuit, Moon required Haskell to stay in his hotel room during business trips, sleep in the same bed and wear ‘skimpy thong lingerie bottoms’ as nightclothes. When she protested, he replied that she had to comply to keep her job and said that ‘his prior assistant accepted the same arrangement.’”"

That is not even the worst of it.

"“The lawsuit also alleges that Moon, 61, committed sexual battery by grabbing the woman’s crotch during a trip to Seattle this year. The suit further accuses Moon of pulling off the woman’s bathing suit after slipping a drug into her drink during a separate trip to Mexico in October.”"

The report also mentioned that this is not the first time the former quarterback has been accused of something like this as he was sued by a Vikings cheerleader for sexual harassment back in 1995 after she accused him of offering to give her cash in exchange for sex.

Moon spent three seasons with the Vikings from 1994 to 1996 after Minnesota acquired the quarterback in a trade with the Houston Oilers. After 17 years in the NFL, Moon was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2006.
