HOUSTON – Four other lawsuits alleging sexual assault and inappropriate conduct were filed against Deshaun Watson on Monday, including one that alleges that the Houston Texans quarterback sexually assaulted a woman this month.
The lawyer representing women, Tony Buzbee, has filed 11 lawsuits against Watson since last week.
A lawsuit opened on Monday alleges that Watson assaulted a massage therapist in March 2021, “touching her with his penis and exposing himself”.
Another of Monday’s proceedings is centered on two massage sessions, one in June 2020 and the other in August 2020, in which Watson would have harassed a woman “grabbing the Claimant’s buttocks and vagina, touching her with his penis. and trying to force her to have oral sex with him. “The lawsuit claims that the first massage was scheduled through a spa and the second through Instagram, where the woman says that” she didn’t realize that Watson was a returning customer “.
The third lawsuit revolves around an incident that allegedly occurred in January 2021 and accuses Watson of exposing himself to a masseuse, “touching her with his penis and making sexually suggestive comments”.
The fourth lawsuit accuses Watson of harassing a massage therapist and exposing himself to women in August 2020.
Buzbee said in an Instagram post on Saturday that he would send testimonies and evidence from several women to the Houston Police Department and the Houston public prosecutor on Monday morning. He also said he would ask a grand jury to consider the evidence and determine whether the charges should be brought against Watson by the state of Texas.
On Friday, Buzbee said the first time he spoke to Watson’s representatives about one of the sexual assault charges was in February.
Buzbee also said on Friday that he was hired to represent 12 women and was contacted by “more than 10 additional women” who reported on Watson’s similar conduct.
Last week, NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said “the matter is under review” for the league’s personal conduct policy, and the Texans said in a statement that they would maintain close contact with the NFL during the investigation.
