Nearly a year ago, Ashley Solis filed the first civil lawsuit against Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson.
Her account detailed that it was “apparent that Watson wanted the massage for only one reason—sex,” describing how in one session he “purposefully touched the Plaintiff's hand” with the tip of his penis. As the news of the lawsuit spread across the country, another surfaced on the Harris County District Clerk’s website later the next day.
