Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson expressed surprise at the recent civil lawsuit filed against him by a woman alleging sexual assault four years ago. The woman filed the lawsuit in Texas, claiming Watson forced himself on her during a dinner date in her Houston apartment in 2020, seeking over $1 million in damages.
Watson, who is set to play against Jacksonville this week, stated that he was unaware of the allegations until they were made public on Monday. His attorney released a statement denying the claims in the lawsuit, emphasizing Watson's intention to defend himself in court.
