Redskins execs accused of abuse

15 female ex-workers claim sexual harassment

Fifteen former female employees said they were sexually harassed during their time with the Washington Redskins over a 13-year period, The Washington Post reported Thursday.

While one of the women gave her name, the other 14 provided details involving the harassment for a report that included interviews with 40 people in and around the NFL organization, according to the Post. The allegations are pointed at former scouts and members of owner Dan Snyder’s inner circle.

In a statement, the team said it takes issues of employee conduct seriously and, “While we do not speak to specific employee situations publicly, when new allegations of conduct are brought forward that are contrary to these policies, we address them promptly.”

Snyder, who would not comment for the Post report, has hired a District of Columbia law firm to review the team’s culture, policies and allegations of workplace misconduct. Beth Wilkinson of Wilkinson Walsh LLP confirmed to The Associated Press on Thursday that the firm had been retained to conduct an independent review.

Within the past week, three members of the front office have left the organization. Director of player personnel Alex Santos, assistant Richard Mann II and longtime broadcaster and senior vice president Larry Michael are no longer with the team. Michael announced Wednesday he was retiring after 16 years. The Post reported all three were involved in the long-term allegations, which allegedly occurred from 2006 to 2019.

Also Wednesday, the team promoted Jeff Scott to assistant director of pro scouting and advance coordinator to replace Mann.
