Lawyer issues new statement regarding the status of child sexual abuse lawsuit against WWE

It was announced in October of 2024 that a new lawsuit was filed by former WWF ring boys against WWE, TKO, Vince McMahon, and Linda McMahon. Via Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics.com, McMahon’s attorney Jessica Rosenberg issued a statement denying the claims.

A ruling was made that will allow the lawsuit to continue. Attorney Greg Gutzler of the DiCello Levitt firm issued a new statement on behalf of the alleged victims to Thurston…

“The Maryland Supreme Court’s decision upholding the Maryland Child Victims Act, effectively eliminating any statute of limitations on child sex abuse lawsuits, is the right one, and we hope other states will follow Maryland’s lead.

Survivors of sexual assault, especially children, often do not come forward for years or even decades after the abuse occurred. This delayed disclosure happens for numerous reasons—shame, fear, or manipulation—and it has too often prevented survivors from ever seeking justice and getting accountability. It also has allowed perpetrators to continue hurting countless innocent people.

My clients’ lives were destroyed by the defendants who allowed and enabled the open, rampant sexual abuse to occur for years. The abuse inflicted on my clients was inexcusable; they were mere children and had the right to expect that WWE executives would take action to protect them from the predators working within the WWE. We will bring light to their truth and fight for accountability and justice.”
