Deshaun Watson

It's easier to get a guilty verdict in a civil case than in a criminal case. In criminal court, the jury is told a guilty verdict requires the evidence to prove it "beyond a reasonable doubt". In civil court it only requires "a preponderance of evidence". OJ was found innocent in criminal court, but was later convicted in civil court on pretty much the same evidence. Of course you can argue about double jeopardy but that's another topic.

There may also be hope that Watsons lawyer will see the evidence and advise his client to settle out of court. I'm sure most of those women don't want to have to testify under oath and then submit to a cross-examination.

This story is fishy as hell...

If Watson is a serial abuser to the extent that he has ~20+ victims, how come there has never been a single public allegation against him until a few months ago? A guy who does regularly creepy stuff like this doesnt just suddenly start doing it out of nowhere at age 25. If this is the type of guy Watson truly is, there should be victims going back to his HS/College days... yet it seems like all of the accusations are very recent.

The fact that all these lawsuits have suddenly appeared now after years of silence, means that the texans must have been covering up his abuse for years and decided to stop because he is leaving the team, or it means that something seriously fishy is going on with these allegations. Its also bizzare that every single one of the victims is being represented by a lawyer who seems to have some ties to the McNair family.

So the guy likes to whip his dick out while getting a massage. So what? Who hasn't?

You’re someone who likes to argue just for the sake of it, eh?

He doesn't side with gold digging hoes. Important because they ruin lives.
