Woman follows court order, adds name to Deshaun Watson lawsuit

The woman who filed a civil lawsuit against Deshaun Watson last week has amended her petition to include her name after she was ordered to do so by Judge Rabeea Sultan Collier on Monday afternoon.

The lawsuit, first filed under the pseudonym Jane Doe, is the 26th known civil case filed against Watson accusing him of inappropriate sexual misconduct or sexual assault during massages.

The ruling on Monday was made in an emergency hearing held in the 113th District Court in Harris County (Texas). During the hearing, Watson's lawyer, Rusty Hardin, asked the court to order counsel to provide the name of the plaintiff and sanctions for not originally providing it.
