Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson facing 23rd active civil lawsuit over alleged inappropriate sexual conduct

Another woman has filed a lawsuit against Deshaun Watson, joining 22 other women who have accused the Cleveland Browns quarterback in civil cases of inappropriate sexual conduct during massage sessions.

In this 23rd civil case against Watson, the lawsuit states that the plaintiff had her first massage sessions with Watson during the summer of 2020 and that his "behavior grew worse." During the third and final massage, the lawsuit states that Watson exposed himself to her, touched the woman between the legs and "repeatedly requested" the plaintiff have sex with him.

According to the lawsuit, the woman changed her mind about suing Watson after watching HBO's "Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel" last week.
