Lawyer says civil lawsuits against Houston Texans QB Deshaun Watson up to 12

Houston lawyer Tony Buzbee said during a news conference Friday that he will be filing an additional five civil lawsuits against Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson "in due course" -- bringing the number of total cases to 12 alleging inappropriate conduct and sexual assault.

In addition, Buzbee said he has spoken to another 10 women who have come forward about encounters with Watson.

Buzbee said alleged inappropriate conduct by Watson has happened as recently as this month.

He said Friday that his office has been in contact with police and that he would provide information to the police about the women who intend to sue Watson.
