Peyton Manning: Details Of 20-Year-Old Sex Abuse Allegations Made Public
North Jersey woman claims she was victim at University of Tennessee, court documents show.

HACKETTSTOWN, N.J. – Dr. Jamie Naughright claims she was sexually assaulted by NFL star Peyton Manning when he was a college quarterback at the University of Tennessee.
Naughright, formerly of Hackettstown, New Jersey, was part of the athletic training staff at the university in the 1990s when Manning was the starting quarterback there. In court documents initially sent to New York Daily News columnist Shaun King, Naughright claims she was evaluating a possible stress fracture in Manning’s foot when he intentionally maneuvered his body, resulting in the placement of his genitals on Naughright’s head and face, the documents show.
Manning alleged he was “mooning” a teammate, Malcom Saxon, and unintentionally came in contact with Naughright. Saxon, however, denied Manning’s claims, according to the court documents.
The suit filed by Naughright names Peyton Manning, his father Archie Manning, and ghostwriter John Underwood along with book publisher Harper Collins after a book titled “The Mannings” for lying about Naughright in one of the novel’s chapters.

An obituary from 1999 shows Naughright’s family was from Long Valley, where one of the town’s most traveled roads is named for them. Jamie’s father, James, died in August of the that year after serving as a member of the Long Valley First Aid Squad for 42 years; three of those as Chief. James Naughright was also a Long Valley Fire Department member for 43 years. He was the owner and butcher of Bodine’s General Store in Long Valley and was a driver for Hoskin’s Livery in Hackettstown for 30 years, the obituary said.
The death noticed named Jamie Naughright-Whited as one of his survivors. Whited was the woman’s maiden name.
