Houston Texans star Deshaun Watson has been sued for sexual assault by a professional masseuse who claims he purposely forced his erect penis into her hand during a session in March of 2020, but the 25-year-old quarterback is denying the accusation.
The woman, identified only as ‘Jane Doe,’ said Watson contacted her over Instagram and after arriving at her home, made it clear that he wanted to have a sexual encounter, according to the lawsuit obtained by TMZ. Watson allegedly guided the woman’s hands towards his genitals at several points during the massage before exposing his erect penis.
The plaintiff says he “purposely touched [her] hand with the tip,’ according to the filing obtained by TMZ.
The woman claims she was “shocked and mortified” and promptly ended the massage and began to cry.
She also claims that Watson made a veiled threat, saying: ‘I know you have a career and a reputation, and I know you would hate for someone to mess with yours, just like I don’t want anyone messing with mine.’
She also says that Watson later offered an apology over text message.

Buzbee wrote on social media that ‘this case we just filed against Watson isn’t about money — it’s about dignity and stopping behavior that should be stopped, NOW!’
The accuser’s attorney, Houston-area lawyer Tony Buzbee, has not responded to DailyMail.com’s request for the filling. Buzbee did write on social media that ‘this case we just filed against Watson isn’t about money — it’s about dignity and stopping behavior that should be stopped, NOW!’
Watson has denied the allegations and says the suit is, in fact, about money.
‘As a result of a social media post by a publicity-seeking plaintiff’s lawyer, I recently became aware of a lawsuit that has apparently been filed against me,’ Watson wrote on social media. ‘I have not yet seen the complaint, but I know this: I have never treated any woman with anything other than the utmost respect.
‘The plaintiff’s lawyer claims that this isn’t about money, but before filing suit he made a baseless six-figure settlement demand, which I quickly rejected. Unlike him, this isn’t about money for me – it’s about clearing my name, and I look forward to doing that.’
Buzbee is well known in Houston following a failed mayoral bid in 2019.
The allegations come at a precarious time for the Texans and Watson, who has reportedly demanded a trade from Houston amid the club’s roster overhaul.
The team has responded by steadfastly refusing to deal the three-time Pro Bowl selection, according to ESPN’s Dianna Russini.
Houston recently released defensive end JJ Watt, a franchise cornerstone and local hero who has since signed with the Arizona Cardinals.
