A new lawsuit alleges Vince McMahon knowingly enabled the sexual exploitation of children by a WWE employee in the 1980s.

Vince and Linda McMahon are accused of allowing WWE announcer Mel Phillips to sexually abuse children when they worked as “ring boys.”

The lawsuit, filed Wednesday in Baltimore County, Maryland, alleges McMahon, his wife Linda McMahon and WWE ignored “rampant abuse” of so-called “ring boys.” The boys, as young as 12 in some instances, were allegedly abused by ringside announcer Melvin Phillips Jr. in the 1980s and 1990s.
