Deshaun Watson: Cleveland Browns quarterback strongly denies allegations, says attorney
Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson “strongly denies” the latest sexual assault allegations made against him, his attorney said on Wednesday.
An unidentified woman is seeking $1m (£764,000) in damages after filing a civil lawsuit against the 28-year-old in Houston, Texas on Monday.
The incident allegedly occurred while the pair were on a date in October 2020.
Browns coach Kevin Stefanski, meanwhile, says Watson will face the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday after playing in last weekend’s season-opening defeat against the Dallas Cowboys.
Stefanski said he was unaware of the allegations before the lawsuit was filed and had not considered leaving Watson out.
