Attorney says 12 women now intend to sue Deshaun Watson |
Houston attorney Tony Buzbee held a press conference on Friday and said he will now represent 12 women who intend to sue
Deshaun Watson for sexual or civil assault.
Buzbee also says ten additional women have contacted him since the story first broke. On Thursday afternoon, it was confirmed the NFL will be investigating under the league’s personal conduct policy. Tony Buzbee says his firm is now representing 12 women with claims against Texans QB Deshaun Watson. He says they have been in contact with as many as 22 women. pic.twitter.com/mOPzEjPAal Watson's agent David Mulugheta tweeted the following about the allegations earlier in the day. Sexual assault is real. Victims should be heard, offenders prosecuted. Watson responded earlier this week that he has never mistreated any woman and just wants to clear his name. “As a result of a social media post by a publicity-seeking plaintiff’s lawyer,” Watson posted on Twitter, “I recently became aware of a lawsuit that has been apparently filed against me. I have not yet seen the complaint, but I know this: I have never treated any woman with anything other than the utmost respect. The plaintiff’s lawyer claims that this isn’t about money, but before filing suit he made a baseless six-figure settlement demand, which I quickly rejected. Unlike him, this isn’t about money for me – it’s about clearing my name, and I look forward to doing that.” Tony Buzbee, the lawyer for the women suing Deshaun Watson, says he now represents 12 women and intends to file 12 lawsuits. He added that he has heard from an additional ten women.
Individuals fabricate stories in pursuit of financial gain often. Their victims should be heard, and those offenders also prosecuted.
I simply hope we keep this same energy with the truth.
