Latest accuser in Watson case, 2 witnesses expected to meet with NFL: I-TEAM
CLEVELAND (WJW) — The Fox 8 I-Team has learned that the latest accuser in the Deshaun Watson case and two witnesses are expected to meet with the NFL soon.
Attorney Tony Buzbee, who represents the latest accuser, also tells the I-Team that he also has video he plans to show to the NFL. He would not say what was on the video.

“We will be scheduling a meeting with the NFL and hope that can be accomplished in the next two weeks,” Buzbee said. “We have a video and two additional witnesses for the NFL to speak with. I’ve personally never had confidence in the NFL’s disciplinary process but my client has chosen to engage it.”
The NFL has stated they are looking into the matter.
Attorney Rusty Hardin, who represents the Cleveland Browns quarterback, said he did not know when Watson will meet with the NFL.
Hardin has previously said that Watson “strongly denies the allegations in the Jane Doe lawsuit,” which was filed Monday.
The new lawsuit was filed on behalf of a woman claiming Watson “roughly sexually assaulted” her when they met for a date.

Watson has also faced dozens of lawsuits from women claiming sexual misconduct when he went to them for massages.
Most of those cases have been settled out of court, but Watson was suspended by the league for 11 games.
