Houston Texans NFL star Deshaun Watson is coming under increasing pressure over alleged sexual assault. Meanwhile, three masseuses have already sued the quarterback. Several US media reported this unanimously.
In the third civil lawsuit filed, a masseuse alleges that Watson forced her to perform a sexual act during a session in Houston last December. According to the plaintiff’s lawyer, there are also other cases.
On Wednesday it became known that Watson is said to have deliberately touched another woman with his penis at a meeting in her house at the end of March 2020. A similar incident with another masseuse is said to have occurred on August 28th. Watson denies all allegations.
The lawyer of one of the plaintiffs had claimed that it was not about money, but then made an “unsubstantiated six-figure settlement claim”, Watson wrote on Twitter on Wednesday. “I quickly refused. Unlike him, it’s not about money. It’s about clearing my name and I’m looking forward to it.”
The Texans also issued a statement. “We take this type of allegation, involving individuals from the Houston Texans, seriously. We will await more information before making any further statements about the incident,” it said.
