A Second Texas Grand Jury Declines to Charge Deshaun Watson

A grand jury in Brazoria County in Texas declined on Thursday to bring sexual misconduct charges against Deshaun Watson, the former Houston Texans quarterback who was traded to the Cleveland Browns just days ago, district attorney Tom Selleck said in a statement.

A grand jury in Harris County, Texas, where Houston is, rejected nine criminal cases against Watson this month. But a 10th criminal complaint filed with the Houston Police Department described an alleged incident outside the jurisdiction of the Harris County District Attorney’s Office.

The case, in Brazoria County, south of Houston, was the last known criminal case pending against Watson.
