Deshaun Watson Faces Civil Lawsuit Amidst Sexual Assault Back Then With The Texans As Quarterback…Read More

A new civil lawsuit was filed in Houston on Monday, accusing Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson of sexual assault and battery. The incident allegedly occurred in October 2020, when Watson was still a member of the Houston Texans. The lawsuit claims that Watson engaged in inappropriate conduct during a massage session, which included unwanted sexual advances and inappropriate touching.

This latest lawsuit adds to the mounting legal troubles for Watson, who has faced numerous allegations of sexual misconduct from multiple women over the past few years. Although many of these cases have been settled, the current lawsuit revives the scrutiny surrounding Watson’s actions during his time in Houston. The plaintiff, whose identity remains confidential, alleges that Watson’s behavior caused her significant emotional distress and seeks damages for the harm inflicted.

Watson’s legal team has consistently denied all allegations of misconduct, arguing that any interactions were consensual. In response to the new filing, Watson’s attorney reiterated his client’s innocence and stated that they intend to vigorously defend against the latest claims. The Cleveland Browns have yet to release an official statement regarding the lawsuit, and the NFL is expected to review the new allegations as part of its ongoing assessment of Watson’s conduct.
