Longtime quarterback Warren Moon, in his first public comments since being accused of sexual harassment by an assistant for his sports marketing firm, denied the allegations against him and said that he had "witnesses that would testify" to their inaccuracy.

Moon, speaking to Seattle's KIRO Radio 97.3 FM early Thursday, disputed as "totally untrue" Wendy Haskell's allegations that Moon made "unwanted and unsolicited" sexual advances as part of her role as his assistant working for Sports 1 Marketing.

"I know this subject of harassment and assault and different things in the workplace by women is a very serious subject right now," Moon said in the extensive interview, "and a lot of women have held a lot of these feelings in for a long time, and are coming out and expressing these feelings, and they should be applauded for that.
