A JUDGE presiding over a case against ESPN star Shannon Sharpe has demanded that the star's rxpe accuser not destroy a six tape to preserve evidence in a second lawsuit.

The order covers all copies of a six tape involving Sharpe and his accuser, an OnlyFans model referred to as Jane Doe, who settled her $50 million lawsuit with the famed sportscaster on Friday.

The judge's order on the six tape stems from a lawsuit filed by another woman who has accused Sharpe of rxpe, Michele Evans, The U.S. Sun can exclusively reveal.

In the order, Evans demanded that Doe, Doe's attorney Tony Buzbee, Sharpe, and anyone else with a copy of the recording refrain from destroying the alleged six tape.

On Tuesday, the judge in the case ruled in favor of Evans and ordered that the tape and any other recordings between Sharpe and Doe be preserved.

The tape, which Doe's attorney Tony Buzbee previously called "key evidence," purportedly shows Sharpe and Jane Doe engaged in six acts.

The existence of the tape was initially disclosed publicly by the sportscaster himself just days after Jane Doe's lawsuit was filed in Las Vegas in April.

Evans included an email she sent Jane Doe's attorney specifically demanding that the tape not be destroyed in her request to the court.

"I am writing to place you on formal notice that you are in possession of evidence that is or may be relevant to ongoing or anticipated litigation involving Shannon Sharpe," Evans wrote.

"Specifically, I have reason to believe that you possess video or audio recordings that depict or relate to Mr. Sharpe’s interactions with [Jane Doe], which may be central to claims raised in existing or forthcoming legal actions."

Evans' letter to the attorney continued: "You are hereby directed to preserve and not destroy, alter, conceal, overwrite, or otherwise tamper with any and all materials in your possession, custody, or control that may relate to the matters described above."
