Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson has been accused of sexual assault and battery which allegedly occurred in 2020, according to a civil lawsuit filed Monday by a woman in Harris County, Texas.
In the lawsuit obtained by CNN, a woman identified as “Jane Doe” claims that Watson sexually assaulted her in her apartment before a dinner date in October 2020. According to the lawsuit, Watson – who was playing for the Houston Texans at the time – had become angry when he initially couldn’t find the woman’s apartment, yelling at her on the phone.
” The sexual assault allegedly lasted for “several minutes” before the woman broke free and grabbed a heavy object for protection, the suit adds. The lawsuit claims Watson then “stormed out” of the apartment. Neither Watson’s legal representatives, the Browns, the Texans nor the NFL Players Association have responded to CNN’s request for comment. The NFL declined to comment when contacted by CNN. Jane Doe is seeking compensatory and punitive damages in excess of $1 million, the lawsuit states.
