Woman suing Browns QB Deshaun Watson over alleged sexual assault to meet with NFL, her attorney says
A woman accusing Deshaun Watson of sexual assault may meet in the next two weeks with the NFL, which is investigating the Cleveland Browns quarterback’s off-field behavior, the woman’s lawyer said Thursday.
Attorney Tony Buzbee said in an email to several media outlets that his client, who filed a civil lawsuit in Houston on Monday accusing Watson of sexual assault and battery, will soon speak with the league.
Additionally, Buzbee, who represented two dozen other women in suits against Watson, said he has a video and two additional witnesses.
Watson, who served an 11-game suspension to start the 2022 season over the earlier allegations, could face additional punishment if he did not disclose the incident with this woman during the league’s previous inquiries. This incident took place in 2020, according to the lawsuit.
The woman, identified only as “Jane Doe,” said in the lawsuit that Watson “roughly sexually assaulted her for several minutes” while at her apartment on a dinner date.
The Browns have remained supportive of Watson, who will start on Sunday against Jacksonville. Coach Kevin Stefanski said he did not consider benching Watson despite the seriousness of the new accusations.
