According to the lawsuit, Watson struggled to find her apartment ahead of the date and called her, but he started \u201caggressively yelling and screaming\u201d on the phone.<\/p>\n<p>After that was resolved and Watson entered the apartment, the woman invited Watson in to wait in her living room while she finished getting ready. She said she kept trying to talk with Watson from the bathroom while she was putting on makeup, but he stopped responding.<\/p>\n<p>When the woman came out of the bathroom, she said she found Watson \u201ccompletely naked on her bed, lying face-down on his stomach.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"caas-pull-quote-wrapper caas-img caas-lazy\" data-src=\"\">\n<blockquote class=\"caas-blockquote\">\n<p>\u201cWhile Jane Doe stood there in shock, Watson turned his head and aggressively insisted that she massage him, gesturing to his buttocks,\u201d the lawsuit says. \u201cJane Doe asked if Watson meant he wanted her to massage his back, but Watson indicated that it was his buttocks he wanted massaged.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"caas-pull-quote-wrapper caas-img caas-lazy\" data-src=\"\">\n<blockquote class=\"caas-blockquote\">\n<p>\u201cJane Doe was at this point in the encounter terrified. She was in her small apartment with a much larger man, and she was still reeling from Watson\u2019s outburst and aggression on the phone. Doe thus tried to appease Watson by rubbing his back, rather than his buttocks. Watson began insisting, again, that she focus on his glutes. Seemingly frustrated that Doe would only rub his back, Watson then turned over, revealing an erection. Watson continued to demand that Jane Doe massage him, gesturing from his knees to his groin. Jane Doe froze in fear, unsure of how to refuse Watson\u2019s advances without jeopardizing her safety. Confused and scared, she reiterated to Watson that she wasn\u2019t a masseuse.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<p>The woman said that Watson then suddenly grabbed her leg, partially disrobed her and penetrated her vagina without any consent. Watson allegedly assaulted her for several minutes, though she then escaped from underneath him and screamed at him to get out of her apartment, which he eventually did.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"caas-figure\">\n<div class=\"caas-figure-with-pb\" style=\"max-height: 640px\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"caas-img-container caas-img-lightbox caas-img-loader\" style=\"padding-bottom:67%\" data-lightbox-src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/9qe5MJs9T.uXRGsmjmOvOw--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTI0MDA7aD0xNjAw\/https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/os\/creatr-uploaded-images\/2024-10\/cf6bc820-8506-11ef-b61f-8eacf85168fe\"><span class=\"caas-img-wrapper\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"caas-img caas-lazy has-preview\" alt=\"LANDOVER, MARYLAND - OCTOBER 06: Deshaun Watson #4 of the Cleveland Browns looks on before the game against the Washington Commanders at FedExField on October 06, 2024 in Landover, Maryland.
