New lawsuit against Deshaun Watson resolved, lawyer says

Nearly one month after a new lawsuit was filed accusing Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson of sexual assault and battery, the case has been resolved, according to the woman's lawyer.

"We have now resolved our client's claim with Deshaun Watson," attorney Tony Buzbee told ESPN Monday night. "The settlement is confidential."

According to the lawsuit, which was filed Sept. 9 in Harris County, Texas, the alleged actions occurred in October 2020 before Watson and a woman, identified as Jane Doe in the court filing, were set to have dinner at the woman's apartment.
