A woman accused Pro Football Hall of Famer and podcaster Shannon Sharpe of sexually assaulting and battering her and using his fame to "manipulate, control, subjugate and violate women," in a Nevada lawsuit filed Sunday.

Former NFL star tight end Shannon Sharpe has been accused of multiple instances of assault, sexual assault, battery and sexual battery in a lawsuit filed Sunday by an anonymous woman and her attorneys.
