The NFL's investigation into Deshaun Watson has unraveled a web of legal strategies. The September 2024 sexual assault allegations against the quarterback brought fresh scrutiny to his already controversial career.
Deshaun Watson's journey with the Cleveland Browns has not been smooth. Acquired from the Houston Texans in a trade that cost three draft picks, he's been attracting controversy ever since. His 2022 season began with an 11-game suspension for previous sexual misconduct allegations.
The latest case differs from earlier accusations. While previous allegations involved massage therapy misconduct, this new claim specifically alleged sexual assault. The accuser sought more than $1 million in compensation before settling.
