Accusers' attorney pushing for legal charges against Watson

The news for former Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson continues to change by the day.

On Saturday night, Tony Buzbee, the Houston attorney who is representing seven women in a lawsuit against the Houston Texans’ quarterback, wrote he will be seeking formal charges of sexual assault against Watson on Monday.

Buzbee posted on Instagram he will be submitting affidavits and evidence to the Houston Police Department and the Houston District Attorney on Monday. He will then request that a grand jury be empaneled to consider the evidence.

This news comes after Watson’s attorney, Rusty Hardin, says he plans to respond to the allegations against his client later this week.
