Deshaun Watson Accused Of Sexual Assault
4 years agoA third civil lawsuit filed against Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson accuses him of sexually assaulting a massage therapist by forcing her to have oral sex with him in December of last year. Houston attorney Tony Buzbee said there are nine total cases against Watson, but so far, only three civil lawsuits have been filed. NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said "the matter is under review" of the league's personal-conduct policy. "Watson's behavior is part of a disturbing pattern of preying on vulnerable women," the third lawsuit reads. Watson responded on Twitter to say that this is "about clearing my name..." It's unclear if Watson will face some sort of suspension from the NFL after they investigate the matter, but this off-the-field issue could also have a huge impact on whether he gets his wish and is traded out of Houston. It's another storyline to watch surround Watson this offseason.
