Hall of Fame QB Warren Moon sued for sexual harassment

A California woman has sued Warren Moon for sexual harassment, with the allegation that the former star quarterback required her to wear a thong and share his bed during business trips for his sports marketing firm.

According to Craig Whitlock of the Washington Post, the lawsuit also alleges the 61-year-old Moon committed sexual battery by grabbing the woman's crotch, and that he pulled off her bathing suit after slipping a drug into her drink on a trip to Mexico.

The alleged victim began working as Moon's executive assistant in July and traveled with him for various functions around the country. She claims she was demoted after a couple of months for complaining about the sexual advances.

After starring in the Canadian Football League for six seasons, Moon burst onto the NFL scene with the Houston Oilers in 1984. He would play 17 years in the league, and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2006.

The Seattle Seahawks, the organization in which Moon serves as a radio analyst, released a statement granting Moon's request for a leave of absence.
