HOUSTON (AP) — A 24th woman filed a civil lawsuit Monday alleging sexual misconduct by Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson, who is also awaiting possible discipline from the NFL.
The latest lawsuit was filed in Houston by attorney Tony Buzbee, who is representing all 24 women.
“Lost in the media frenzy surrounding Deshaun Watson is that these are twenty-four strong, courageous women who, despite ridicule, legal shenanigans & intense media scrutiny, continue to stand firm for what is right,” Buzbee said.
Watson has been accused by massage therapists of harassing, assaulting or touching them during appointments when he was with the Houston Texans.
The latest lawsuit makes similar allegations as the woman, a massage therapist, accuses Watson of assaulting & harassing her during an August 2020 session in her apartment. The woman alleges that during the massage session, Watson exposed himself and masturbated & “offered no apology or explanation for his conduct.”
The woman has quit being a massage therapist because of what happened to her and now suffers from depression & anxiety, according to the lawsuit.
During an interview Friday on SportsRadio 610 in Houston, Hardin again said Watson has done nothing wrong.
Hardin said Watson had consensual sexual activity with 3 of the women & did not force any of his accusers to have sexual contact.
Two separate Texas grand juries in March declined to indict Watson on criminal complaints stemming from the allegations.
But Watson could still be suspended if the NFL determines he violated the league’s personal conduct policy.
