Bernie Williams Jersey she arranged a ma sage se sion with Watson in August 2020. According to the lawsuit, Watson demanded that the woman ma sage his "inner thighs and quadriceps."As the ma seuse started to do that, Watson's "tone became aggre sive as he repeatedly demanded that she go higher and higher into his inner thighs." The ma seuse eventually became uncomfortable with the situation, which included Watson touching himself in front of her. The lawyer representing the woman is Tony Buzbee, who also represents the other 23 women who have filed a lawsuit against Watson. Buzbee to multiple media outlets after the newest lawsuit was filed. "Today we filed the twenty-fourth case alleging sexual misconduct against Deshaun Watson," Buzbee said. "The allegations made in this new case are strikingly similar to those made by many of the other victims. Lost in the media frenzy surrounding Deshaun Watson is that these are twenty-four strong, courageous women who, despite ridicule, legal shenanigans, and intense media scrutiny, continue to stand firm for what is right. Setting aside the legal wrangling, the complicity of the , or the failures of the criminal justice system, the resounding story that should be told here is that these women are true heroes. I will say again, our entire team is incredibly proud to represent these women, and we look forward to the day when we can lay out their cases in detail in front of a jury."Unle s the 24 cases are settled out of court, each one of them will eventually be heard in front of a jury. However, that might not happen until 2023 at the earliest because both sides between Aug. 1, 2022 and March 1, 2023.On Monday evening, Watson's lawyer, Rusty Hardin, regarding the 24th suit that has been filed: "We are unable to respond to the new lawsuit at this time.

"Maybe there's nobody in your listening audience that that ever happened to. I do want to point out, if it has happened, it's not a crime. OK? Unle s you are paying somebody extra or so to give you some type of sexual activity, it's not a crime. ... Doing something or saying something or being a way that makes you uncomfortable is not a crime."Hardin attempted to clarify
Alex Rodriguez Jersey his comments in a statement that he released just hours after the interview on Friday. "On a Houston radio show interview on Friday , I mentioned that a ma sage that has a 'happy ending' is not illegal, meaning it is not illegal for someone to have consensual sex with a therapist after a ma sage unle s the sex is for pay," Hardin said in the statement. "Deshaun did not pay anyone for sex. I was speaking in a hypothetical situation. If there is a consensual sexual encounter after a ma sage, that is not a crime nor the basis for a civil lawsuit."According that the comments from Hardin basically make it sound like there's no i sue
David Robertson Jersey if Watson went into a ma sage expecting sex."Despite Watson's legal team's efforts to normalize such conduct, such conduct is not normal and is legally actionable," Buzbee wrote in the lawsuit.
