CLEVELAND \u2014 A new lawsuit was filed against Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson in Harris County, Texas, according to a filing from the District Court of Harris County. <\/p>\n
Attorney Anissah M. Nguyen filed the suit on Thursday on behalf of a woman only identified as “Jane Doe,” who is a licensed massage therapist. The suit claims Watson sought out sex-related acts during a massage therapy appointment that occurred on Dec. 18, 2020. <\/p>\n
The woman claims Watson reached out to set up an appointment via Instagram and as a “small business owner” was actively trying to grow her business and expand her client base, the argument says. <\/p>\n
Watson is accused of trying to have sex with the woman and when she refused, the woman claims he was able to “pressure her into oral sex,” before paying a $300 for her services despite a $115-an-hour rate. <\/p>\n
In August, Watson’s suspension was increased from six games to 11 with an additional $5 million fine. The provision from the original six-game suspension also requires Watson to undergo therapy and treatment as part of the settlement. <\/p>\n
As part of Watson’s agreement, he is not subject to further league discipline for any alleged personal conduct policy violations arising from the same and or similar conduct that allegedly occurred before his settlement with the NFL.<\/p>\n
This new falls arguments under the agreement as the cases are similar in nature and occurred before Watson’s settlement with the league. The new case will therefore not impact his current suspension, a league source confirmed to News 5’s Camryn Justice. <\/p>\n
