It says the 79-year-old knew a former WWE ringside announcer used his position to lure in young boys to work on the ring crew with the promise of meeting famous wrestlers.
It’s the latest in a series of misconduct allegations against McMahon and the WWE.
In 2023, McMahon paid a multimillion-dollar settlement to a former employee who accused him of raping her in 1986.
The former CEO has called the allegations in both cases false.
