Deshaun Watson allegations: NFL star saw AT LEAST 66 female massage therapists over 17 months
Deshaun Watson, the NFL star, has found himself in a marsh and it's hard to escape. He's been sued by 24 massage therapists for sexual misconduct. Now, a new report from The New York Times claims that Deshaun used "at least" 66 massage therapists over a 17-month period, roughly from the fall of 2019 to the spring of 2021. The report found its way out to the public on Tuesday, June 7.
Another woman accused Deshaun of misconduct but withdrew her case, while two more therapists made criminal accusations but didn't sue, and as many as 15 massage therapists came forward to support him. It's said that at last four worked with Genuine Touch, the company hired by Deshaun's former team, the Texans. The NYT report also claimed that it was someone from within the organization who provided the American football quarterback with an NDA form to give to the therapists and that the franchise also provided him with locations for his appointment. The statement further reveals that the franchise learned about the allegations back in March 2021 and that they have continued to cooperate with the investigators and will continue to do so.
