Documents reveal Peyton Manning accuser called sexual assault crisis center to report 1996 incident

An allegation by a former University of Tennessee trainer who accused NFL star Peyton Manning of pressing his buttocks and genitals against her face while she examined his ankle was cataloged in 1996 by a sexual assault crisis center worker as "sexual assault/abuse," according to documents reviewed by Outside the Lines.

Fewer than three hours after the Feb. 29, 1996 training room incident, then-trainer Jaime Naughright called a Knoxville sexual assault crisis center hot line and said she had been victimized that evening by a "very well-known public figure ... an athlete at UT" and that she already had reported the incident to her supervisor.
