NFL’er Deshaun Watson Maintains Innocence Amid Over Two Dozen Women Accusing Him Of Sexual Assault: One Thing I Do Regret Is The Impact That It’s Triggered On So Many People, It’s Tough To Have To Deal With
Deshaun Watson is still holding on to his innocence!
Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson told reporters he still has “no regrets” about his actions that led up to his now 24 sexual assault allegations against him.
According to ESPN, in a press conference on Tuesday (June 14), Watson admits it has been a “tough road,” regretting what the allegations have done to his close loved ones.
“I do understand that I do have regrets as far as the impact that [it’s had] on the community and people outside of just myself, and that includes my family. That includes this organization.”
“That includes my teammates in this locker room that have to answer to these questions. That includes the fan base of the Cleveland Browns. That includes males, females, everyone across the, the world. That’s one thing I do regret is the impact that it’s triggered on so many people. It’s tough to have to deal with.”
"I never assaulted anyone. I never harassed anyone or I never disrespected anyone. I never forced anyone to do anything."

As we reported last week, the latest allegation brings the total to 24. The recent victim provided a similar story, stating that she gave Watson a massage twice, and during the second time he masturbated and ejaculated in front of her in her apartment. He did not mention the assault but tipped her $150 before leaving.
One woman spoke to the New York Times, telling them that he was “persistent in his requests for sexual acts” during their session.
When asked about the timeline of the investigation, Deshaun Watson had this to say:
“I can’t control that. I did everything they asked me to do. I answered every question truthfully that the NFL asked me, I spent hours with the people they brought down. That’s all I can do, is be honest and tell them exactly what happened. They have a job, and so I have to respect that. And that’s what we want to do is cooperate. They have to make a decision that’s best for the league.”
Tony Buzbee, the lawyer for the women suing Watson, said that two more women are planning to file lawsuits against Watson. Buzbee had this to say about Deshaun’s comments in the press:
“Given the volume of the credible cases filed, the lead detective’s sworn testimony, the undisputed facts, and the heartbreak, pain, and havoc Watson has caused, we think it would be appropriate to see Deshaun Watson express some regret or remorse in the way he treated these women, some of which have sued and many others who haven’t, yet.
Attending some sort of counseling would be at least some step forward. We have nothing else to say on the subject.”
Deshaun continues to deny all allegations against him, and says that the NFL has to “make a decision that’s best for the league.”
“Like I said, I never assaulted anyone. I never harassed anyone. I never disrespected anyone. I never forced anyone to do anything.”
