Two massage therapists file civil suits against Deshaun Watson; he denies allegations of touching


Two civil lawsuits have been filed against Deshaun Watson alleging inappropriate conduct during massages, on two separate occasions by two separate plaintiffs.

The lawsuits, which were filed by Houston lawyer Tony Buzbee, both allege that Watson "committed civil assault" when touching a massage therapist with his penis and that he "intentionally or knowingly caused physical contact with Plaintiff when Watson knew, or should have reasonably known, that Plaintiff would regard such contact as offensive."

The second lawsuit says, "Watson's behavior is part of a disturbing pattern of preying on vulnerable women." Buzbee said on Instagram that there are now four total cases against Watson, although only two lawsuits have been filed so far.

Watson responded on Twitter after Buzbee announced the filing of the first lawsuit on Tuesday night, saying that he rejected "a baseless six-figure settlement demand" and that this is "about clearing my name, and I look forward to doing that." At the time of his statement, Watson said he had not seen the first lawsuit.
