The Houston Texans reached settlement agreements with 30 women accusing the team's former quarterback Deshaun Watson of sexual misconduct during massage sessions. The women also were suing the Texans after a New York Times investigation revealed the team provided Watson with access to a hotel room where some of the misconduct occurred and a member of the team's security gave Watson a non-disclosure agreement to give massage therapists when booking appointments. In their filing against the Texans, the women claimed the team "turned a blind eye" to their player's behavior.
Watson has settled cases with 20 of the women who filed suit against him, but there still are four outstanding lawsuits.
