A lawsuit filed by six women identified only as "Jane Does" against the University of Tennessee lists Peyton Manning as one of 10 former players accused of sexual assault or other misconduct in making its case that UT's athletics department has a long-standing pattern — that it "deliberately created (and creates) a hostile discriminatory sexual environment for female students" and "acted with deliberate indifference in response to incidents of sexual assault," particularly made against "major sports" athletes.

The UT lawsuit filed last week calls out an alleged 1996 incident in which Manning, a UT football player, was accused of placing his naked genitals on the face of the female trainer while she was examining him. Manning has denied the allegations and said he was "mooning" a fellow athlete. The trainer, Dr. Jamie Naughright, later sued Manning after he described her in a book as "vulgar mouthed."
