    You are kind of all over the place.

    Yes they all can be considered victims but that does mean all of them have been sexually assaulted or harassed.

    My issue is that you were saying 22 accusers saying the same thing and they are not saying the same things.

    I didn't say that. You've misconstrued what I was saying, but I never believed or said that.

    Maybe only 20 of 100 felt uncomfortable. Who knows how many actually gave him what he wanted. I imagine phone records and social media records would show a lot more. Maybe it was some fantasy of exposing himself to a stranger or "touch me higher" thrill for him. After all, he had a gf supposedly.

    Doesn’t seem he wanted to be whacked off - more like anally stimulated

    Yeah... My cousin worked Vice in the Atlanta area. They used to go to online massage reviews to see what clients claimed extra services that individual masseuses were performing and send investigators to the alleged worst offenders . On that note, I wouldn't be shocked if Rusty sent in undercover investigators to visit some of these women.

    My cousin's department also tagged unlicensed workers to investigate. These high priced therapists also draw IRS attention as well. That said, I have little doubt that Watson went to these women for cheap thrills and will get suspended for it.

    No doubt. Even if half of them are lying(and I don’t believe that) you’d still have 10 that Deshaun took advantage of. Still don’t know if he committed a crime but dude must be a **** bag.

    These types of business arrangements seem fraught with danger for all parties involved. Best to avoid.

    Dude. What? If all this is true then **** Watson. But true or not true Easterby still sucks. And not something emotionally opinion based like “cringey weirdo” I mean something factual like he sucks at his job. Everyone outside of like 5 ppl on this board know that.

    he sucks as vp of football operations because this team is a laughingstock since he started making decisions.

    he sucks as a character coach because the the star player has sexual misconduct allegations against him.

    either way he sucks. And that’s without giving Watson a pass. It’s unrelated.

    I get the difference between a criminal complaint in the court of law vs civil. That's not something one thinks of imo, after an incident such as the ones being claimed. Normal reaction would be to report it to the police. If they choose not to press charges then one takes it to an attorney about bringing a civil suit. I get some women might think about the optics of reporting a celebrity(Deshaun isn't even in Bill Cosby's league much less zip code of celebrit-ism. Yet even though the majority of Cosbys accusers didn't report it to anyone other than family, friends or journalists, some actually did file a police report shortly after. )
    I have no problem getting that most of the women in this case would not/may not have reported the incidents to the police but if not a single one out of 20 or 22 or however many, decided not to report it to the police then I'd consider that a red flag. Not a single one out of 20 or 22??

    I also think a more common instinct would be to report such an incident to the police than to think about public vilification. Especially if as we know and can tell, most of the allegations won't be taken seriously enough or considered worthy of criminal charges by the police, so in the end it'd just be on the record as a complaint.

    My apologies but I don't have the time to go through all 40 some pages to find similar questions being asked or what the replies were.
    With regard to those questions being asked and answered in the past decade...that's not exactly what I'm talking about. You're getting at "why so and so would not report ---- to the police". I'm asking "why none out of 20 some women reported it to the police". Not why one accuser out of one did not report it. As mentioned before, I'm comparing this to Bill Cosby and Darren Sharper(even if those are a bit different in terms of the accusations). Many female accusers, some didn't report it(In Cosbys case many didn't report it) but at least a handful did. That's the first instinct I would imagine.

    It is INSANE. How many times? What don't they understand??
    I can try to fathom if one is on a (bless his heart) Sam Cassell/ Popeye Jones level of looks and a minimum contract with few options other than "I play pro". But for the others it's definitely a psychological thing. Can't be just an "I'm a dumbass" thing. Absolutely psychological.

    No, they think of the power disparity between a millionaire star athlete and a nobody masseuse who has no hard evidence of what was done to her..

    They think of the embarrassment of having to go public, they think of the damage to their business and reputation. They think of the harassment they'll endure from the star player's fans.

    They think of the utter futility of it all and their helplessness.

    It's why so many get away with it.

    So this woman in the photo below (spoilered) came forward and said she has given Deshaun Watson multiple massages and he never did anything inappropriate in those sessions. If this is the type of buxom woman Deshaun sought out on the internet, then I can see how he might fall victim to temptation de vez en cuando.

    One masseuse coming forward saying he didn't do something doesn't completely negate what the dozens of others are saying.

    And the fact that she's attractive is irrelevant. We don't know the circumstances behind her massages and the other women. And attractiveness is hardly the only factor involved in most sexual assaults; dominance and power are huge factors as well and are sometimes even more important.

    Also, think about it; he's a decent-looking superstar athlete. If he wants to sleep with attractive women, I imagine that's not hard for him to pull off. Guys like him don't expose and force themselves on masseuses because they're just attracted to them; they do it because they're powerful men and get off on thinking they're untouchable.

    Off top, I hope Deshaun wasn't dumb enough and immoral enough to force any woman doing anything they didn't want to happen. That said, women have a great advantage when dealing with any man whether that man is a millionaire or a broke MF because society mostly leans towards women during these type of circumstances. Women know this, brag about it, and use it to their advantage habitually.

    If Deshaun is guilty, then major shame on him and he deserves big punishment. If Deshaun is innocent, every single one of these women deserve a harsher punishment than whatever he faces.

    Again, hopefully Deshaun is innocent and did nothing stupid and immoral. The situation seems bleak though due to the sheer number of complainants.

    If she was giving me a massage I would inquire about extra services.

    While one positive doesn't negate 22 (22 positives wouldn't negate 22 or even one complaint), and ofc she could have been preemptively paid off.

    But man, it makes you wonder about how this is being framed. Articles on one hand shame him for using these craigslist and instagram "masseuses", because it's known the extra services they have a reputation for offering, but then at the same time also pretend as if the girls as pictured above clutched their pearls when DW pulled his mini towel with a flourish, talking about anuses.

    I wouldn't be surprised if there were as many or more who had no complaint with the transaction as complainants, not that it would help them or DW, coming forward with that part.
