Deshaun Watson now facing sexual assault allegations from 12 women
By Ryan Dunleavy March 19, 2021
Tony Buzbee said during a news conference Friday that seven lawsuits have been filed and five more are coming — several of the 12 Jane Does were hired to massage Watson — and 10 other women have contacted his office with similar stories not yet vetted. The most recent incident happened earlier this month, after Buzbee first notified Watson’s representation of the allegations, he said.
“This case isn’t about money,” said Buzbee, a high-profile Texas attorney. “We have pleaded the jurisdictional minimum … [of] $500. It’s certainly not about seeking publicity or fame. I personally don’t need it, and these women don’t want it. This case is about female empowerment and taking the power back.
“They bring these cases for one reason only: Stopping further misconduct from this defendant and any others like him,” Buzbee added. “We won’t be deterred.”
Buzbee said he “stopped counting at 10 death threats” against him, his children and his colleagues from social-media commenters.
Watson, 25, asked the Texans to trade him earlier this month. The Texans held on to him and now the allegations cloud the market and could make potential suitors, such as the Jets and Dolphins, leery of dealing for the Pro Bowl quarterback.
