Browns' Deshaun Watson to Have Sexual Assault Complaint Reviewed by 2nd Grand Jury

A grand jury in a second Texas county will determine whether to file a criminal charge against Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson, according to Jenny Vrentas of the New York Times.

The grand jury in Harris County, Texas, declined to indict Watson earlier this month in relation to nine police complaints from women accusing him of sexual assault or misconduct. Twenty-two women filed civil lawsuits against the 26-year-old that have yet to be resolved.

It was previously reported that Watson was facing 10 criminal complaints, and Vrentas suggested that complaint fell out of the jurisdiction of Harris County.
