Deshaun Watson, on the field in training camp, and the Texans are still connected after the team couldn’t make a deal to trade him at Tuesday’s deadline.Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson must undergo depositions in connection to at least some of the 22 misconduct allegations made against him before April, a judge on Monday ordered.
From that point, a grand jury will decide whether criminal charges against Watson are merited. When that could happen is uncertain — but Hardin appears to believe his client’s fate in the criminal matter may be known by April 1. Buzbee said delaying Watson’s deposition further is unfair to the plaintiffs who have already endured 75 hours of questions as part of their lawsuit against him. Depositions are a procedure that allows lawyers in the case to question those involved about the allegations. Watson is accused of sexual misconduct during several massage therapy sessions, the bulk of which are said to have happened in 2020. .
Portions of transcripts that Hardin entered into the public record show that one of the women was asked if she subscribed to OnlyFans.com and that others were questioned about their criminal history.Six women have yet to undergo depositions, lawyers said. Of those women, Buzbee can depose Watson on their allegation ahead of April 1 — as long as the accuser is not among those who filed a police report, Collier ruled.
“I don’t know what’s gonna happen on April 1,” the judge said, adding that Hardin can seek a stay if he wants.
