As Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson struggles to regain his old form, he has a new legal issue.
On Monday, Watson was sued in Houston for sexual assault and battery, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
The plaintiff in the new case, who filed under the Jane Doe pseudonym, contends that she went on a date with Watson. Most if not all other cases arose from paid massages that Watson had arranged. The details can be found in the story.
From a fantasy angle, the story went on to say it’s possible that Watson could be subject to further scrutiny under the Personal Conduct Policy. It’s also possible that a suspension — if one is imposed — could give the Browns a path toward voiding his remaining salary guarantees and ending the relationship. The story added the biggest difference between the latest case and the others is that Watson specifically is accused of sexual assault.
