Deshaun Watson

A 24th lawsuit has been filed in Texas against Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson, the second lawsuit of the week.

Hardin has said the women are all lying and blames Buzbee for what he says is being “willing to say just about anything to get more publicity.” Hardin also said Buzbee sees Watson as a “potential payday.” The other lawsuit filed last week alleges he had three massage encounters with a woman in 2020 who said he exposed himself to her, touched her between the legs, requested sex and asked to be touched in his private areas. Deshaun continues to deny he did anything inappropriate with any of the plaintiffs." The first massage was "professional," the suit stated, and Watson had to leave abruptly after taking a phone call. Her suit states she suffers from depression and anxiety and has had difficulty sleeping after the encounter. Her lawsuit said she ran into the bathroom to clean Watson’s ejaculate off her.

"Today we filed the twenty-fourth case alleging sexual misconduct against Deshaun Watson," Buzbee said. "The allegations made in this new case are strikingly ...

If there is a consensual sexual encounter after a massage, that is not a crime nor the basis for a civil lawsuit." "The women do not learn about Watson's proclivities until it's too late." Unless the 24 cases are settled out of court, each one of them will eventually be heard in front of a jury. Setting aside the legal wrangling, the complicity of the NFL, or the failures of the criminal justice system, the resounding story that should be told here is that these women are true heroes. In the latest lawsuit, a female masseuse claims that things got ugly after she arranged a massage session with Watson in August 2020. The masseuse eventually became uncomfortable with the situation, which included Watson touching himself in front of her.

An additional lawsuit alleging that Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson committed sexual assault and misconduct during massage sessions was filed on ...

Deshaun continues to deny he did anything inappropriate with any of the plaintiffs." "We are unable to respond to the new lawsuit at this time." "Our legal team has not had time to investigate this new filing and had not heard her name until today.

Another civil lawsuit alleging sexual misconduct has been filed against Deshaun Watson, marking the second in the span of a week and 24th active case against ...

A Harris County grand jury returned nine “no” decisions on nine criminal complaints against Watson. in March. A Harris County prosecutor said that the decision concluded criminal proceedings against him in that county, and Watson was traded shortly afterward. Although the civil lawsuits are still ongoing, Cleveland traded for Watson in March and signed him to a five-year contract worth a guaranteed $230 million. He repeatedly requested that Plaintiff have sex with him,” telling her that there was a condom in his bag, according to the petition. He then demanded that she work on his inner thighs and quadriceps.” The filing details how his “tone became aggressive,” telling her to go higher on his inner thighs. According to Cash App receipts and text messages included in the petition documents, “Watson paid Dionne Louis at least five thousand dollars for Louis’s ‘work.’” Watson allegedly “offered no apology or explanation for his conduct,” before he paid via Cash App and left the plaintiff’s apartment.

Deshaun continúa rechazando que hubiera hecho algo inapropiado con alguna de las demandantes”, dijo Hardin el lunes en un comunicado. Las primeras 22 demandas fueron presentadas en marzo y abril de 2021, y las dos más recientes desde que dos de las mujeres detallaron encuentros con Watson en entrevistas con el programa “Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel”, de HBO. “Lo ausente en este frenesí mediático en torno a Deshaun Watson es que se trata de 24 mujeres fuertes y valientes que a pesar de las burlas, embustes legales, y un intenso escrutinio de la prensa, se mantienen firmes por lo que es correcto”, dijo Buzbee en un comunicado.

El quarterback de los Browns fue acusado nuevamente de agresión sexual.

Según la demanda, Williams se presenta ahora "después de leer que Deshaun Watson proclamó que no se arrepiente y que no ha hecho nada malo", sentimientos que Watson expresó durante su conferencia de prensa introductoria con los Cleveland Browns en marzo. Watson ahora enfrenta 24 casos civiles en total. Williams afirma que no tuvo problemas con Watson en una sesión del 5 de agosto de 2020 y que él "fue profesional". Sin embargo, en la segunda sesión, el 9 de agosto, Williams alega que Watson se expuso a ella, procedió a tocarse y realizó un acto sexual.

Se trata de la segunda acción legal que se ha sumado a las 22 previas en contra del quarterback de los Browns apenas en la semana pasada.

La demanda del lunes es la segunda en ser interpuesta en contra de Watson en la semana pasada. "Yo hablaba de una situación hipotética. Si hubiera un encuentro de sexo consensual después de un masaje, no se trata de un crimen ni es base para una demanda civil". La demanda alega que la parte actora brindó masaje a Watson en dos ocasiones. "En un programa de radio en Houston en entrevista hoy, mencioné que un masaje con 'final feliz' no es ilegal, queriendo decir que no es ilegal para alguien tener sexo consensual con una terapeuta después del masaje, a menos que el sexo sea pagado. "Perdido en el frenesí mediático en torno a Deshaun Watson es que se trata de veinticuatro mujeres fuertes y valientes quienes, a pesar del ridículo, recursos legales, e intenso escrutinio mediático, se mantienen firmes por lo que es correcto. El viernes, durante una entrevista con SportsRadio 610 en Houston, Hardin dijo que "finales felices" no son ilegales.

Las acusaciones sobre acoso se acumulan con el paso de los días para Deshaun Watson. quarterback de los Cleveland Browns.

Con ello en mente, seremos respetuosos con el proceso y dejaremos que se encarguen de ellos”, sentenció el quarterback. Sin embargo, durante la sesión del 9 de agosto Watson mostró sus genitales, se masturbó y realizó un acto sexual. Katy Williams es la más reciente demandante en contra del quarterback.

There's an important distinction between not hearing her name and not being aware of her potential claims. The early stages of the civil litigation against ...

Beyond the question of whether the 24th plaintiff’s claims could potentially fall beyond the language of the exception to the default language in Watson’s contract is the basic reality that Watson ultimately could be suspended at some point after 2022 and 2023. For the first time since the flurry of lawsuits was filed in 2021, however, a case will play out involving a person whose name wasn’t previously known to Watson’s camp. And the graphic details contained in the 24th complaint, if repeated to a grand jury and accepted by the grand jury, could result in an indictment. Specifically, the lack of a response from Watson’s team to the 24th lawsuit could end up creating significant consequences for Watson with the league and/or the team. The effort to identify potential plaintiffs potentially included a person whose name Watson didn’t know or remember who eventually would make the claims reduced to writing in the lawsuit filed Monday. Hardin’s statement says only that they hadn’t heard the person’s name until Monday; it’s possible they knew, via aggressive questioning of their own client, that there was a 24th interaction that could have resulted in a claim being made. The early stages of the civil litigation against Watson featured a delicate and convoluted guessing game as to who the plaintiffs were, because they initially sued under the Jane Doe pseudonym.

“No update,” league spokesman Brian McCarthy told PFT via email. “We will decline comment as the matter remains under review.” The questions ...

Hardin has said that Watson’s camp expects to hear something in June. As of tomorrow, the first week of June will be over. With the entire Personal Conduct Policy a P.R. tool masquerading as an in-house criminal justice system, the impact of two fresh lawsuits (after more than a year of no new litigation) and Hardin’s widely criticized effort to downplay the habit of receiving and/or pursuing “happy endings” at massages cannot be ignored. So we asked the league office for an update given the filing of two new lawsuits and the controversial radio comments made last week by attorney Rusty Hardin.

Perhaps the most significant development from Monday in the Deshaun Watson situation was no development at all. Specifically, the lack of a response from ...

Watson met at least 66 women over a 17-month period, far more than previously known. He had help from the Houston Texans, including nondisclosure agreements ...

Watson began taking the N.D.A. to massages that same week, giving one to the woman in Manvel, who signed it, and another to a woman who said in her lawsuit that she ended the session after he suggested a sexual act. Watson acknowledged in a deposition that the Texans arranged for him to have “a place” at The Houstonian. He used the fitness club, dined there and also set up massages in hotel rooms. In a deposition on May 13, he was asked about the text message he sent to Ashley Solis, one of his accusers, immediately after their appointment in March 2020. Watson has been shuttling between Cleveland, where he is training with his new team, and Houston, where he met with N.F.L. investigators and is giving depositions in the lawsuits. In June 2020, one woman said in her suit, Louis drove her to a hotel to meet Watson for a massage, during which he groped her and touched her hand with his penis. Watson said in a deposition that he used this N.D.A. only for massage appointments because he had lawyers and agents who handled his other business. She said in the second session he asked her if she wanted his penis in her mouth, and that he repeatedly requested sex in their third and final massage. Days later, when Watson went to work at the Texans’ stadium, he found an N.D.A. in his locker. Smith said that during their first massage, Watson asked her to put her fingers inside his anus, a request she said she told Louis about afterward. She looked out for him, she said in a deposition, sometimes arranging for a security guard when Watson came in, concerned the expensive cars he drove might make him a target for a robbery. When he ejaculated during the second appointment and then asked her for another massage later that day at the Houstonian, she first agreed, then told him she could not make it. The woman told Watson she wanted to keep things “professional and respectful.”

The Texans' head of security provided Watson with a non-disclosure agreement he would later give to massage therapists prior to sessions.

One woman who spoke with The Times anonymously but did not sue Watson said the quarterback requested she massage him around his testicles and anus during their first session and that after she laughed off the request, he forced her hand to the area. Watson's lawyer, Rusty Hardin, told The Times that Watson "continues to vehemently deny" the allegations of sexual assault and misconduct. Hardin defended the extensive communication, calling it "standard practice" for lawyers to work with prosecutors and law enforcement. He had reached out to her on Instagram and wrote that he was "tryna support black businesses" and suggested they meet at The Houstonian. Two of those women filed civil lawsuits against Watson and two more brought complaints to the police. On Tuesday, Vrentas cited findings from depositions of the civil lawsuits of the now-Browns' quarterback in which Watson faces alleging sexual assault and misconduct.

The Times reported that Watson booked appointments with at least 66 massage therapists over a 17-month period from fall 2019 through spring 2021. That number is ...

Watson allegedly attempted to settle the 22 (at the time) outstanding lawsuits back in October, but the settlement fell through because not every woman was willing to take his offer. Watson admitted to having consensual sex with at least three of the women he hired as massage therapists, but has maintained since the initial misconduct allegations first surfaced that he has done nothing wrong. Another woman, who did not sue Watson or go to police, told The Times that Watson repeatedly pushed for sexual acts during their massage, and that he was "begging" her to put her mouth on his penis. The woman said Watson twice initiated sexual intercourse, once by pulling down the scrubs she was wearing. She laughed off the request but said he grabbed her wrist and put her hand there. In the last week, Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson has been sued by two more women who allege sexual misconduct that took place during massage therapy appointments.

The Texans also said they have cooperated with investigators and “will continue to do so.” The woman said Watson twice initiated sexual intercourse, once by pulling down the scrubs she was wearing. But when he flipped over, she said his demeanor and voice changed, and he began aggressively dictating where he wanted her to touch him. Watson and his attorneys have repeatedly denied that any sexual activity with massage therapists was non-consensual. This woman, who spoke on condition of anonymity to protect her privacy, said she began by working on Watson’s back. Watson has been sued by 24 massage therapists for alleged sexual misconduct.
