NFL: Deshaun Watson sexual assault allegations
- Thread starter Pestilence
- Start date
They can't defend anything because the accusers' lawyer hasn't revealed who the accusers are to the Watson camp, even in confidentiality. They were only able to say that this one particular accuser consented because they were able to figure out who she was by connecting some dots.

I doubt all 16 accusers are valid, but I also have a hard time believing 16 people would all falsely accuse.

You have to have quite a lot of factual evidence about other details, for instance you have to be a masseuse or at least a person who has met Watson in private, and your story has to fully check out. There most likely is some evidence that Watson at least has met those women in private for the lawyer to be interested taking them to this case. You can't be a random girl from Idaho claiming "okay Watson did that to me now give me some $".

This is a big red flag for me as well. I dated a massage therapist once. Almost her entire client base was reoccurring clients. People who get a lot of massages tend to want to find one person to work with. The therapist knows your problem areas, how you like to be worked (rimshot), and a rapport.
Someone of his stature looking for actual massage therapy would try to work with one (or a few) people. Running through therapists like toilet paper sounds like someone thats looking for variety, for some reason...

Ah, the "she wanted it" defense.
Deshaun Watson’s lawyer just showcased part of his legal defense
Hardin didn’t confirm or deny whether the quarterback engaged in some kind of physical encounter with the alleged victims, but insisted: “I believe that any allegation that Deshaun forced a woman to commit a sexual act is completely false.” The wording of that statement is important because it leaves latitude for Watson's defense team to mount a defense on the basis that any physical contact was something that occurred in a consensual setting — if that's ultimately necessary.

Yep, it's getting worse and worse.
Once you can't even say the event didn't occur, only 'she wanted it', and you add in the fact that 14 women are saying they didn't want it...yeah, it looks bad. Really f***ing bad.

Lawyer Tony Buzbee Says Deshaun Watson Admitted He Pays For Sex During Massages & Makes Women Sign NDAs | BlackSportsOnline
Deshaun Watson didn’t necessarily admit that he pays for sex.
The only thing his lawyer and marketing manager admitted to was Watson has had consensual sexual encounters with women who give him massages.
It isn’t a BIG leap to say that Watson was paying these women for sex under the guise of massages, but they haven’t admitted that.
With that being said it was a bold strategy to admit that Watson has been having these sexual encounters with women who were supposedly just there to give him a massage.

It is the same reason people stick to one doctor, one dentist, one psychologist, one financial advisor, etc.
Once you find a good one who you can work effectively with and create a professional relationship with, you tend to stick with that one individual.
And with Watson's money, I am sure he would be able to get a recommendation from someone for a skilled massage therapist with a great reputation.
Watson's behaviour seems more similar to a guy trying to find a different hook-up on Tinder every weekend.

Guess he likes variety. Probably wakes up in the morning and says to himself 'I feel like an Asian today'.
Dude is a freak.
A wealthy Lawyer who ran for mayor is acquainted with one of the most visible ultra-wealthy people in the same city? Wow, not unlikely. But, drawing between that and collusion is Glenn Beck level, conspiracy board. There is a huge gap between knowing someone and being part of an illegal conspiracy.

Brown had some horrendous press 2 years ago and that has honestly died down. In the MeToo age tho.... oof this is awful for Watson.

Watson had a squeaky clean image, wasn’t shown to be a distraction unlike Brown.
man oh man..

I doubt it. Even in the MeToo era. Watson is too good at his job to have his career ended by this. Adam Jones got into legal problems almost every off season, Josh Brown beat the crap out of his wife, Vick was in charge of a dog fighting ring etc.
Well in this era I think he could get suspended for the whole season in 2021. As of right now his team is irrelevant and the NFL does not need a bad look by giving him only 4 games or so. They will come down heavy on this.
