Yet another lawsuit is filed against Browns QB Deshaun Watson over alleged sexual misconduct

By Mike Santa Barbara | Last updated 10/13/22

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson is in trouble again.

On Thursday, a filing from the District Court of Harris County in Texas revealed a new lawsuit against Watson filed on behalf of an unidentified woman alleging Watson sought sex and pressured her for oral sex during a massage session in 2020.

This latest Deshaun Watson lawsuit isn't like the 20-plus others. The massage therapist alleges Watson offered to let her 'get on top' of him' and 'pressure her into oral sex.' Plaintiff Jane Doe is represented by Anissah Nguyen, not Tony Buzbee as the all the others were.

"It's taken her some time to come forward," said the woman's attorney, Anissah Nguyen . "She's doing it for herself and other women who have been victimized by Deshaun Watson."

According to Fox 8 in Cleveland, Rusty Hardin, the attorney who represented Watson in the previous 24 lawsuits, said he was unaware of the latest filing.

The lawsuit marks the 25th against Watson since 2019. In August, the NFL and NFLPA agreed on an 11-game suspension and $5 million fine for Watson for violating the league's personal conduct policy.

Per the agreement, similar conduct from 2019-2021 wouldn't be subject to an NFL investigation or discipline. So, the newest accusations against Watson will not likely impact his NFL standing.
