Warren Moon: NFL legend sued for sexual harassment, sexual battery

Dec. 6 (UPI) -- Pro Football Hall of Famer Warren Moon has requested a leave of absence from the Seattle Seahawks after being sued for sexual harassment and sexual battery.

The 61-year-old was named in a lawsuit filed on Monday in Orange County, Calif., according to multiple reports. Moon has denied the allegations, according to a text message he sent to Seattle's KING 5 TV. The lawsuit was first reported by the Washington Post.

"We have accepted Warren Moon's request for a leave of absence as the club's radio analyst," a Seahawks spokesperson said Wednesday. "Brock Huard and Dave Wyman will assume the role of radio analyst indefinitely. This week, Dave Wyman will join Steve Raible, Jen Mueller, and John Clayton from Jacksonville on 710 ESPN Seattle and KIRO Radio 97.3 FM."

The woman who made the claims was hired this summer as an executive assistant to Moon, according to KING 5 TV. She alleged that Moon required her to wear thong underwear and share his bed during business trips, according to the Post. She also accused Moon of grabbing her crotch this year during a trip to Seattle. She also accused Moon of pulling off her bathing suit and slipping a drug into her drink during an October trip to Mexico, according to the Post.
