A federal judge in Maryland has paused a lawsuit against Linda McMahon, the former World Wrestling Entertainment executive and education secretary appointee, as another court examines a new state law. This law, enacted in 2023, eliminates the statute of limitations for civil lawsuits related to child sexual abuse, which could greatly affect the potential for more plaintiffs to come forward with their cases, and in this instance, has led to the McMahons being sued for failing to act on credible allegations.
Judge James K. Bredar granted a stay on the lawsuit until the Maryland Supreme Court rules on the constitutionality of the 2023 law. The decision to stay the case is significant because the outcome from the state Supreme Court could have a direct impact on this lawsuit, which involves serious allegations of sexual abuse that date back to the 1980s involving the McMahons' organization, WWE.
