Tony Buzbee released a statement Wednesday that he plans to add the Texans and “others” as defendants to the ongoing civil lawsuits filed against Deshaun Watson. 

The lawyer represents the 24 plaintiffs who filed active civil lawsuits against Watson, each detailing graphic accounts of sexual harassment and sexual assault that occurred during massage therapy sessions. The accounts range from Watson allegedly refusing to cover his genitals to the quarterback “touching [a plaintiff] with his penis and trying to force her to perform oral sex on him.” The latest detailed that Watson masturbated and ejaculated on the plaintiff without her consent.
