Deshaun Watson will not face criminal charges as a Harris County (Texas) grand jury on Friday chose not to indict the quarterback on nine criminal complaints of sexual assault or harassment, according to Johna Stallings with the Harris County District Attorney’s Office.
“Today we presented nine criminal complaints for consideration by the grand jury. Beginning at 9 o’clock this morning, we presented evidence for over six hours for the grand jury to consider, as well as having witnesses available for those persons to testify in front of the grand jury,” Stallings, of the division chief of adult sex crimes and trafficking at the Harris County District attorney’s office. “And the grand jury considered all of that evidence and returned nine no bills against Deshaun Watson involving these nine criminal complaints. We respect the grand jury’s decision and … conclude the criminal proceedings in Harris County.”
