Another Lawsuit Filed Against Deshaun Watson
4 years agoAnother lawsuit has been filed against Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson, this one alleging that he assaulted a licensed aesthetician. The lawsuit said "Watson's behavior is part of a disturbing and escalating pattern" and was the 22nd lawsuit filed by Houston attorney Tony Buzbee against Watson since March 16. Eighteen women released statements through Watson's lawyer, saying they have worked with the quarterback and that he "never made them feel uncomfortable or demanded anything outside the scope of a professional massage." The 25-year-old publicly demanded a trade before these sexual-assault allegations surfaced, and while a trade is still expected, it may not come until the trade deadline or next year's draft. Teams are still interested in trading for Watson, but there's now a real possibility that he'll be suspended in 2021 or 2022.
