HBO’s Real Sports With Bryant Gumbel aired interviews Tuesday evening with two plaintiffs who filed civil lawsuits against Deshaun Watson and one of the quarterback’s attorneys, and the topic of consensual encounters was addressed.
Reporter Soledad O’Brien asked Leah Graham, one of Watson’s attorneys, “Deshaun Watson has insisted that in these massages, that he was looking for nothing other than professional services, but we know he did have sex with three women, right? Oral sex with two, vaginal sex with another. So how do you explain unintentionally ending up having sex with people who are giving you professional massages?”
