There are two interesting things about this lawsuit.
The alleged interaction happened in December 2020.
Tony Buzbee does not represent this accuser. Another difference is this one implies that she was pressured into a s*xual act.
Here are the details.
The FOX 8 I-Team has learned yet another woman has filed a civil lawsuit against Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson claiming he pressured her into a sex act when she met him to give him a massage.
This suit was filed in Harris County District Court Thursday and relates to an encounter in December of 2020.
It is not part of the two dozen other lawsuits filed in Houston by women accusing Watson of sexual misconduct when they met him for massages.
But, this new one was filed by two other lawyers. The I-Team reached out to them for comment.
Attorney Anissah Nguyen says the accuser in the new lawsuit, “has been struggling with everything. It’s taken her some time to come forward. She’s doing it for herself and other women who have been victimized by Deshaun Watson.”
“She knows that by speaking out she is going to have to deal with the hard conversations,” Nguyen added.
She is looking for a “just and expeditious” resolution to the case.
We also contacted Rusty Hardin, the lawyer who’d represented Watson in those earlier cases. He said he was unaware of the new filing.
Watson is back at the Browns facility and is scheduled to be back starting for the Browns later this season.
For those wondering, this likely won’t change his status with the NFL since this wasn’t a recent accusation. It is just lumped in with all the other ones.
Watson had settled 23 of his 24 lawsuits, so now he has two outstanding cases to take care of.
