Rusty is correct. Deshaun will not be suspended 324 games Deshaun will not be suspended 2 seasons Deshaun will not be suspended 1 season Deshaun probably will not be suspended 10 games Deshaun will probably be suspended 6-8 games (with possible reduction to 4-6) Anyways…
Lawyer for Deshaun Watson’s accusers says HBO asked ‘hard questions’ of him and 2 plaintiffs; Watson declined HBO request https://www.cleveland.com/browns/20...sons-side-might-get-a-chance-to-weigh-in.html HBO Press release said that they spoke with "several" accusers about Deshaun Watson. Turns out there's only 2 that's going to be on the show. Watson declined to be interviewed due to the ongoing NFL investigation. Buzbee says the "walls are closing in on Deshaun"...I doubt that.
Narrative on this is shifting quite a bit -- starting to sound like about 18 were actually sex workers giving handies and 2-4 DW had inappropriate contact. Prosecutor isn't going to trial with sex workers and vague allegations.
Video sums up what I think of the Watson allegations. There is publicly available information that details Watson's defense against the allegations but the media seldom mentions Watson's side. The coverage is dominated by agenda-driven opinion pieces and suspension speculation not based on any facts or inside knowledge of the details of the NFL investigation.
Interesting interview from Rusty Hardin on this podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podca...in-on-all-things/id1525109223?i=1000563325542 Here are is a summary of what he said: Confirms 3 cases where sexual activity occurred (oral sex). 2/3 women Deshaun had sex with had their cases presented to the grand jury. The Grand jury returned no bill on those 2 cases. The 3rd was not presented to the DA. This 3rd woman allegedly tried to shake down Watson for $30K in hush money to keep quiet. No bill means there is no probable cause that criminal conduct occurred for both possible felony and misdemeanor charges One grand jury in Harris County rejected 9 and another grand jury in Brazoria county rejected 1 for 10 total no bills Hardin believes that the first two allegations of forcible sexual assault present the greatest threat to Watson when it comes to NFL punishment, but believes the grand jury's no bill on those cases will help NFL find no fault with Watson. Doesn't have any complaints about the NFL investigation process so far. NFL spent 3 days with Watson and they are waiting for the decision in June or July. Once Hardin finally got Buzbee to name the accusers, Hardin pushed them to file a formal complaint. He was that sure of Deshaun's innocence. Confirms that Stephen Ross (owner of the Dolphins) almost signed Watson if Watson agreed to settle and had everyone sign an NDA. The deal would've happened if at that time 2 women didn't disagree to sign an NDA. Alleges that Buzbee wants the women to sign NDAs so that it never becomes public how little they are going to get in the settlement. Calls the media mouthpieces that just regurgitate whatever Buzbee says without ever looking into it. Doesn't believe the commissioner exempt list will be used The USA Today reporter (Brent Schrotenboer) that wrote the story about Watson testifying to a woman crying at the end of a massage got the leak from Buzbee who wasn't even at the deposition. Buzbee called Brent and verbally told him his version of the deposition. The reporter runs with it and creates the story. Says that nobody in the media wants to challenge the veracity of allegations made in cases of sexual assault. Says Buzbee has no allegiance to truth and uses the media to his advantage that doesn't do the work to verify the accusations. Says allegations don't hold up in a "searching type atmosphere." The women didn't tell anybody for a year. They did not report to law enforcement. They did not object during the massage session to what was happening except for one woman (the teary-eyed woman) who left during the massage with 5 minutes left saying she was uncomfortable with massaging the areas that Deshaun wanted and he was OK with her ending the massage early. Hardin maintains that the request for this massage was common and not of a sexual nature.
It doesn't look good. What this comes down to, is whether you believe 22 women or Watson Remember he's already lied once when he said he didn't have sex with any masseuses. Then came back and said he only had consensual sex with some of the masseuses.
Not 1 Not 2 Not 3........ Not 4..... Nor 5...... 6....... 7 Not 8.... 9? Nope...... not 10 Not 11 or even a dozen..... Not 13.... Not 14..... not 15 or 16...... Not 17... not 18 Not 19 or even 20..... Not 21...... 22 different women have accused this man of sexual assault. Almost two basketball teams or one MLB roster worth of women say that Watson sexually assaulted them.... We are to believe that it was all just a misunderstanding? LOL...... sure. Here is what 22 women look like.....
Yes, it is hard to get sexual assault indictments, especially when it is a "he said - she said" situation. In this case we have "he said - she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said and .... she said"
Deshaun never said that he didn't have sex with any of the masseuses. If I missed something please point it out with a reference. Remember the accusers were anonymous at first, so how could he deny if he didn't know their identities when the accusations were first made?
When 22 different women that you employed to do the same thing accuse you of misconduct, you probably did it. In this case, Watson doesn't see Instagram women as people, he sees them only as objects to be used for sexual gratification. He leveraged his fame and fortune to silence these women and it worked until he took it too far with too many of them. You can't expect blind fanbois to care about those Watson abused and that's what Watson was always banking on.
Nope the one when the allegations 1st came out where he said he didn't have sex with any masseuses. masseuses. His very 1st statement.
This isn't about money for Watson? No **** it isn't..... its about sexually assaulting a baseball team worth of women.
