Judge gives new Deshaun Watson plaintiff 24 hours to give name

Judge Rabeea Sultan Collier ruled that the plaintiff who filed a civil lawsuit against Deshaun Watson last week has 24 hours to amend her petition to include her name if she wants to go forward with the civil lawsuit.

The ruling was made in an emergency hearing held in the 113th District Court in Harris County (Texas). During the hearing, Watson's lawyer, Rusty Hardin, asked the court to order counsel to provide the name of the plaintiff and "sanctions for making us go through this."

The lawsuit, filed under the pseudonym Jane Doe is the 26th known lawsuit filed against Watson accusing him of inappropriate sexual misconduct or sexual assault during massages.
