While Deshaun Watson has not been criminally charged, he says he doesn't intend to settle the civil lawsuits from women alleging sexual misconduct and assault during massage sessions.
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Former Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson returned to Houston for his deposition again Friday in Houston in relation to the 22 civil lawsuits he faces from women who have accused him of sexual misconduct and sexual assault.
The allegations stem from massages that the quarterback received starting in 2020. The first lawsuit was filed last March. A Houston police investigation began in April 2021 after a criminal complaint was filed.Watson was traded to the Cleveland Browns in March. "It's hard for me to say the counseling part because I don't have a problem. I don't have an issue. That's what I've been saying since the beginning," Watson said, adding that he's willing to talk to people to make sure he doesn't find himself in the situation again, but doubled down that he didn't have a problem.
In April, a judge in Texas ruled that Watson must say whether he had sex with 18 massage therapists who supported him last year following criminal complaints and lawsuits from the other women.
