’96 call over Pey ‘abuse’

THE UNIVERSITY of Tennessee trainer who claimed she was sexually harassed by NFL star Peyton Manning called an assault crisis center hours after the 1996 incident, it was reported Tuesday.

A worker at the Knoxville crisis center classified Jamie Naughright’s call as a “sexual assault/abuse” complaint, according to documents obtained by ESPN’s “Outside the Lines.”

Naughright has alleged that on Feb. 29, 1996, she was harassed by Manning (photo inset) while kneeling to treat his ankle.

The gridiron great pulled down his shorts in the training room, exposing his genitals and buttocks in her face, she says.

Manning has denied any wrongdoing. He said the incident was a joke gone wrong when he was “mooning” a fellow athlete nearby. Naughright called the crisis center three hours after the incident.

The call center worker’s notes quoted Naughright as saying, “I can’t believe this . . . sense there will be a coverup,” acc cording to the d documents.

The trainer d didn’t mention Manning by name.

She claimed s she “feared for her job, worried and feared for h her life,” the document said.

The University of Tennessee later dismissed the incident as “horseplay.”

On Tuesday, the university filed a motion in federal court to strike a paragraph referencing the alleged Manning assault from a lawsuit filed by six women that claims the school enabled sexual violence on campus.
