马里兰州最高法院允许起诉WWE忽视对未成年“环童”的性虐待, Maryland Supreme Court lets lawsuit alleging WWE ignored sexual abuse of underage "ring boys" proceed.

马里兰州最高法院允许对WWE及其前所有人Vince和Linda McMahon提起诉讼。 The Maryland Supreme Court has allowed a lawsuit against WWE and its former owners, Vince and Linda McMahon, to proceed. 诉讼称，他们知道但未能阻止擂台播音员梅尔·菲利普斯 （Mel Phillips） 和其他人在 1980 年代和 1990 年代对未成年“擂台男孩”的性虐待。 The suit alleges that they were aware of and failed to prevent sexual abuse of underage "ring boys" by ring announcer Mel Phillips and others in the 1980s and 1990s. 裁决是在法院维持一项州法律之后作出的,该法律取消了儿童性虐待案件的诉讼时效。 The decision comes after the court upheld a state law that removes the statute of limitations for child sex abuse cases.
