The bad news
hit the Cleveland Browns player, Deshaun Watson. He is said to have molested
dozens of women.
One of the
victims, a masseuse whose name has been changed to Jane Doe, said Watson was a
"serial predator".
Reports from
Marca said there were 14 masseurs who filed complaints regarding the sexual
harassment that Watson had done to them.
The dozen
masseurs then appointed Buzbee as their representative.
Buzbee said:
“Today I am announcing that all cases against Deshaun Watson, with the
exception of four cases, have been resolved. We are currently working on
documents related to the settlement. Once we are done, certain cases will be
terminated," said Buzbee
Simpson Twiggle
(another victim's representative) said: “About 80% of the victims he
represented in civil proceedings were not aware of the criminal charges that
would be imposed on Watson. However, he cited one of his recent cases that was
similar to Watson's case had occurred in Harris County. The defendant in the
case was not indicted by a grand jury despite “strong evidence” but the victim
in his case was eventually awarded $44 million in a civil suit.
As a result of
this case, it was reported that Watson would be suspended for 11 matches, aka 1
full season by his club.
A source said:
“If Watson misses the entire season, his contract will remain until next year.
That would be a real suspension of his career. He will earn a minimum salary of
2023 (something in the $1 million range), instead of the $46 million he would
have earned. He will be under contract until 2027, not 2026."
