It has been about a month since massage therapists began filing civil lawsuits alleging various levels of sexual assault or harassment against Houston quarterback Deshaun Watson. There are 22 of them now.
Since then, neither Watson nor his sizable legal team have settled on a defense that explains away the situation. At least, none that have been shared publicly, which includes a lengthy news conference Friday from attorney Rusty Hardin.
Watson may, indeed, be innocent of all 22 counts. It all could be a misunderstanding. Each plaintiff could be a money-seeking liar. Who knows?
