The owner of the Washington Commanders football team sexually assaulted a woman in the back of one of the team's planes while they were traveling home after a work trip to Las Vegas, legal documents show.

The newly uncovered details shed light on previously reported allegations against Daniel Snyder, who was accused of sexually harassing and assaulting an employee of the team at the time in April 2009. The woman accused the owner of asking her for sex, groping her, and trying to take her clothes off while traveling, according to documents obtained by the Washington Post.Under its personal conduct policy in 2009, the NFL required its league office to oversee team investigations of sexual assault.

Snyder also denied the woman's allegations, correspondence shows, and a team investigation later claimed that her accusations were falsely made in order to extort the owner. However, the team agreed three months later to offer a $1.6 million settlement if she agreed not to disclose the accusations publicly.

The NFL later took over that investigation, and it concluded in the summer of 2021 when the league decided to fine the Commanders $10 million on charges the team tolerated misconduct against its employees.
