Lawyer won't provide info about Deshaun Watson to Houston police
Deshaun Watson is in the news almost daily but not from his play on the field. There are currently 21 filed civil lawsuits against Watson. Attorney Tony Buzbee recently said that he would share his clients' claims of sexual assault with the Houston Police Department. However, he has backtracked on t (Photo: Trevor Ruszkowski / USATODAY) Read Update » |

This sleazeball is going out of his way

to withhold details from everyone, including the police.
Now why would that be? I'm asking, of course, because the answer he gave in that statement was an absolute pile of elephant dung. If this all winds up being bogus, which due to the shadiness of this attorney very much looks to be the case, I hope Deshaun annihilates him with a defamation case.

To be fair, he said he's taking it to other investigative sources, and why.
My question is who would that be? If it's not the Houston PD, what's left? FBI, I guess, right? I'm not sure what other law investigation group would otherwise have authority. It's a political pickle for him, I get that, but I don't understand the end-game & I HATE we're still getting more questions than answers; 2 more civil case filings and again we don't get to hear from Deshaun.

Rangers are the top of the police pyramid in Texas.
I suspect this lawyer is going to talk to either a Jedi or possibly a Green Lantern.

Not sure about that, albeit that would support his statement above regarding working with other investigative units than the Houston PD, I suppose.

Dirtbag lawyer.
Why else would he be using Instagram to make his case in public?

The lawyer is an absolute scum bag.
He’s not bringing to the police because most, if not all accusations are ########.
Deshaun was hiring hooker “massage therapists” from Instagram. Not a good look but he wasn’t assaulting them.
He probably did try and make some advances on legit massage therapists but no way he forced sex upon them.

To be fair (& clear), he wasn't hiring hookers of any kind. Maybe he should have, I don't know & I suppose that's a bit off-topic, but he was deliberately hiring professionals, often start-up small businesses (but all confirmed legit & licensed as LMT's). I still like to see that part as deliberately trying to help new entrepreneurs, even if it may just be a silver lining.

Where did you get this information. All accusers involved in the lawsuit are anonymous

I've been following this one maybe too closely, mostly because I care about DW, I admit.
I suppose what we've been told might not be accurate, albeit that's all we have to go on. Still, you may be right, they may have all instead been hookers for hire & Deshaun made vastly worse choices than I originally thought. I hate having to wait to know or even hear from DW again, but if you are right and they are just hookers trying to bury him for no apparent reason, that's vastly worse, IMO. I think it's somewhere closer to the professional side & mistakes by Watson rather than criminal intent from either side, but only time will tell, unfortunately.

You still didnt say where you are getting your info.....
If he was hiring hookers, thats what they do and they wouldnt say a word, for a variey of reasons.
What i dont understand, in this day and age, is why these women dont come forward. In this age of "enlightenment and empowerment", IF this were to be true, they only further their movement. Since they dont, im having trouble believing them. In light of "ambulance chaser Buzzsaw", and the lack of anything credible and his continual backtracking, im even less inclined to believe.

I did, though? Again, the public records of the suits, for example, should help. After all, by nature they are at the very least punishable under contempt (or worse) if they're all outright illegitimate, so I do think in spite of the deluge of questions and confusion it's arguably the best source to go on, so to speak. The Instagram/text messages, for example, may seem to add a lot of information, but don't have the same validation by nature.
To answer your question about coming forward, I think you mean why they don't all release their names and businesses? FWIW, agree or not, it's virtually always the case with victims in SA cases. Make no mistake, though, IF they are all as illegitimate as you suggest, their names will come out afterwards; it's only if the court finds in their favor that they can potentially remain mostly anonymous. Hope this helps.

I will let you do your research; I don't expect you to trust me at this point, and that's totally understandable. All of the filings to-date except the last two are public record; you're right that they don't include any of the alleged victims' names, but hopefully this helps. Cheers.

I have done my research. Many of these women are “Instagram massage therapists” that is a known cover for prostitutes.

K. Not sure how you missed that part but I definitely understand not wanting to read the filings. It's a tough read, and not a lot of fun. Maybe you're right, though? Maybe they'll all turn out to be hookers & liars instead. That will be easy to prove, if true, & then the league will have to decide what to do with DW, I guess. Some of the texts sure don't sound that way, but time will tell maybe?

"Elsewhere?"
Like, the FBI? Honestly, where else is there to go? Serious question, that's the only thing I could think of that would make any sense if not the Houston PD itself.

Perhaps the sheriff's department...county instead of city law enforcement.

He makes it sound like his discrepancy is directly with the sheriff's department, though, in the story above (& they work directly with the Houston PD) so I don't think it's that,b ut I still don't know what else he could have meant.

He told the ladies just jump on board. There will be no legal backlash. Cops won't be involved so you will be safe.
The women hear houston police want to be involved...they start to bail.

After that horse #### statement, maybe one of the major networks will pick Tony up as apart time writer for one of their crime drama episodes. After that he can be a celebrity on dancing with the stars and show us if his two-step is as good on screen as it is in that press release??????

This is about extracting money and gaining attention. Nothing more. Not justice. Not corrective action. Not protecting women going forward.
Deshaun clearly has issues to work on, but proving assault on anyone looks iffy at this point.
The asking price to end this mess just went down. I still expect a settlement in the not-too-distant future (i.e, in time for a trade before the draft).

They're not suing for money, though. That's an old part of this too-old story, for what it's worth. I really don't understand why they're doing any of this. If they do ask for a settlement, that will be instant front-page news, I'll give you that.

I thought the final statement from Buzbee was telling.
"But again, we'll let the legal process take care of itself and however it's going to unfold we'll certainly comply and do what we can to help and facilitate a resolution for everybody."
I would think he would say something about justice for victims. Resolution for everybody (especially himself) sounds like it is about the money.

That's how you read that? I would've made fun of him if he said "justice" for a civil suit. Monetary compensation is not justice, but sometimes it's the best you can get when you would be relying on "my word vs yours" in a sexual assault charge

The problem is there still hasn't been a filing for money, and civil court would be the place for that to happen outright. So I think that part of the theory died a while ago is all. We'll see, I suppose.

I wonder what the penalties are in Texas for filing false police reports? Mr. Lawyer better stick to civil suits lest he find himself in more trouble than the guy it sounds like he is setting up.
