Texas lawyer Tony Buzbee filed a lawsuit against the Houston Texans on Monday, and the team "enabled" sexual misconduct against former quarterback Deshaun Watson clients during a massage session. Said.
Busby represents the remaining four women accusing Watson of sexual misconduct in Harris County, Texas.
Busby announced earlier this month that he plans to add the Texans to the proceedings. He continued in less than a week after resolving 20 of the 24 proceedings with Watson. It will also be held one day before Watson reports a hearing with the NFL.
"Today we have filed a number of possible first proceedings against the Houston Texans in connection with Deshaun Watson's actions," Buzbee told Cleveland.com. Said in the statement provided. "The overwhelming evidence gathered that the Houston Texans made Watson's actions possible is incredibly terrible. The Texans knew or most certainly knew Watson's actions. I believe. "
Buzbee quoted information gathered from the Houston Police Department.
The first proceeding was filed in March 2021, and over the next few months more women have filed complaints, bringing the total to 24.
The woman who claims that Watson committed sexual injustice is a massage course. He denied all charges, and two Texas grand juries refused to file criminal charges against Watson earlier this year.
Browns acquired Watson, 26, from the Houston Texans in a March transaction and signed a five-year deal with a $ 230 million deposit.
Watson didn't play during the 2021 NFL season. In 2020, he set his career high with 33 Pro Bowl selections leading the NFL with 4,823 yards of passes, 33 touchdown passes and only 7 intercepts.
