What I keep coming back to is that EVERY woman (all 14 so far) has confirmed that Watson contacted them through either Instagram, text message, or phone calls. The vast majority of them include two or all three (like this 14th one, Instagram, text and phone calls).

So now we have 14 women, who all claim to have digital evidence of contact and making arrangements with Deshaun Watson over the last 13 months.

Then half of them met Watson in a hotel, or at a spa or somewhere that could likely have confirmation of Watson's presence.

If this goes criminal, they may also be able to get Watson's phone's GPSS records to confirm his presence for EVERY case.

So if you believe these woman are liars and just after the money, you still have to agree to the un-deniable truth (assuming all these digital records are revealed in court) that Watson was booking a new masseuse, almost exclusively through Instagram, every couple of weeks.

Even during the NFL season when he has 24/7 access to the Houston Texans physical therapists and massage therapists. Even when he is busy practicing, attending meetings, traveling to other cities, playing games. Even with the COVID lockdown and COVID NFL bubble policy and contact tracing.

If that doesn't send your red flag sky high, then you're just denying reality.

“I want to emphasize at the outset that we and Deshaun recognize that sexual assault and harassment are not only unlawful, but morally wrong. It takes courage for women to come forward to report being mistreated, particularly when they attach their names to a lawsuit. We do not take these allegations lightly. However, fairness to the accused is equally as important.

“Opposing counsel has orchestrated a circus-like atmosphere by using social media to publicize 14 ‘Jane Doe’ lawsuits during the past seven days in a manner calculated to inflame the public and malign Deshaun’s otherwise sterling reputation. In addition, the tactic of refusing our requests to confidentially provide the names of the plaintiffs so we can fully investigate their claims makes uncovering the truth extremely difficult. Anonymity is often necessary as a shield for victims but opposing counsel has used it as a sword to publicly humiliate Deshaun before the truth-seeking process can even begin.

“I believe that any allegation that Deshaun forced a woman to commit a sexual act is completely false. And in the one case in which we have been able to identify a plaintiff, we have strong evidence showing the allegation is false. In January of this year, a woman attempted to blackmail Deshaun by demanding $30,000 in exchange for her ‘indefinite silence’ about what she stated was a consensual encounter. It is our belief this woman is the plaintiff in Cause No. 2021-15613. (Please see the attached declaration by Bryan Burney.) This calls into question the legitimacy of the other cases as well.

“We have received numerous unsolicited comments in the past week from many licensed massage therapists who have worked with Deshaun in recent years. These women describe him as a gentleman and a model client who never engaged in inappropriate conduct. Indeed, before these salacious claims, everyone who associated with Deshaun described him as an outstanding, respectful, and compassionate man.

“Again, we are taking the allegations very seriously but we ask only that people not rush to judgment, that people not be unduly influenced by opposing counsel’s antics, and that they let fundamental fairness to both sides rule the day. Thank you for your patience and understanding.”

What if his arrangements for "massage therapy" were never about massages at all... that really is a thing, you know...

Quoted:

$$$$ = accusers.  You are smart enough to know that.  The Duke LaCrosse case fell apart so quick because of only 1 girl.  But she had the backing of everyone, including the media and rolling stone magazine.

Quoted:


That's why I said "allegations."

Also, we treat robbery under violence and robbery under threat as one and the same. It's of sound logic to conclude that verbal/emotional coercion to perform sexual acts is rape.

Though I do agree that sucking a dude's dick to get a movie role isn't rape. Threatening to destroy a woman's career so she'll be compelled to suck your dick is rape.

Quoted:

I've stuck just with the "sexual assault" term for that reason.

I know "oral rape" is a legal term and could be applicable, but for the great majority of all these suits it is exposure and moving his penis to make contact with the women's hands. It is definitely criminal and deviant behavior, but should not be lumped in with vaginal/anal rape.

However, even just (feels dirty to even say "just" these actions) the exposure and moving his penis into contact and requesting sexual services should be enough to see him never play a down of football again.

The NFL supposedly likes to protect the shield and the brand. They reportedly are more than just about football (social movements, etc). They completely fucked up the Ray Rice situation. They likely over-reacted to the Elliott situation because of that. But you see countless players who have domestic violence incidents and other such that just resign with new teams. It's a joke.

Now we'll see if they really "care" in the near future.

HOW MANY MASSAGE THERAPISTS DOES THIS MAN NEED?!

Dude has 24 accusers. Dude has access to DOZENS of the best physical and massage therapists in the world through the NFL. And we still have "numerous unsolicited comments" from "many" other therapists he worked with?

They are massage therapists, not rolls of toilet paper. You don't need a new one every couple of days Deshaun.

Quoted:

Stupid is expensive.

He's a wealthy, attractive, young athlete. If he really just wanted a woman to jerk him off he could have it handled easily without having to book a new random masseuse every week through Instagram. So even if your scenario is true, and some of these women are taking advantage, it is because Watson was an idiot to begin with.

However, I would question why he needed a new woman every time if they were actually willing. A number of the suits accuse him of trying to make a 2nd appointment, or asking for them to be available weekly, etc. So sounds like if he had a willing woman or two, he wouldn't need to hit up a new one every time right?

Of course there could be many others who we will never hear from who were willing. /shrug

I also like the blackmail defense. One typically needs to have done something in order for a person to have leverage to blackmail them.

This woman contacted him in January. Months ago. Before all the allegations and law suits. When there were ZERO accusers out there.

I know that doesn't prove guilt, but it sure makes it sound like the attorney just admitted Watson may have been up to something.

Quoted:

That said, you're in a room naked with a masseuse 1 on 1. She can claim anything she wants and currently the #metoo and #believeallwomen types will take it as gospel. Simply the threat of dragging your name through the mud could be used as blackmail, even if nothing could be proven.

Quoted:

I dunno, man.  Even if one of them was blackmailing him for a quick payday without having to deal with the fallout of forever being known as "that girl that..." it wouldn't even come close to all the evidence the plaintiffs possess if the lawyer has what he claims to have.

"I have met people who I haven’t sexually assaulted." - Deshaun Watson

Quoted:
According to the news, they just filed number 16. It was some woman who did body contouring. His M O was the same.

Quoted:
are you familiar with the No Jumper podcast with Adam 22??

look up his interview with selena powell and aliza jane where jane talks about blowing SEVEN NBA PLAYERS one after another in a hotel room...

Quoted:
If this is true, which if he contacted them how they say he did then a pattern should be quick and easy to verify, the guy is a fucking retard. $156M could afford him a stable of hookers to do his "massages", but nope, not for him. Rules don't apply to him

Quoted:
Nope, I go for evidence....and in this case looks like shenanigans are being played.  All of the women are "Jane Doe" and the lawyer won't reveal their names for discovery.  Also looks like a blackmail case is possibly connected.

Quoted:
Sorry the word NFL hurt you. You can ignore the NFL part if it makes you feel better.

Let's rephrase it, "A popular and wealthy young celebrity was accused of sexual assault by 22 women."

Quoted:

Going out on a limb here.

If you're a celebrity, you probably shouldn't be naked in a hotel room with any woman you met on Instagram that you contacted for "services". Especially when your public excuse of those services (a massage) isn't even their field (two estheticians and a cosmetician).
