BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson said he was surprised by the latest civil lawsuit filed against him by a woman who alleges he sexually assaulted her four years ago.
The woman filed the lawsuit Monday in Texas , saying Watson forced himself on her during a dinner date in her apartment in Houston in 2020. She’s seeking in excess of $1 million in damages.
During his weekly media availability, Watson, who will play this week against Jacksonville, said he was unaware of the allegations before Monday.
“I found out exactly whenever everyone else found out,” Watson said.
