re: How can anyone defend Deshaun Watson after reading the victims testimonies?

It didn’t. Again there are always gonna be exceptions to the rule or special situations. Bad things can come from anything that is legal. If one grown up wants to pay another consenting adult for sexual acts, let’s tax it and move on.

You do know you can't flash people by the lakes because its illegal. BRMark is not sure about that.

You are making a lot of leaps and assumptions. He was in his home, hotel or spa and already disrobed. There has to be some expectation that the masseuse is going to see him naked, even draped.

My issue is you are lumping all sex crimes in with one another labeling any activity the same as rape. It cheapens real assault and crime. I've read these cases and they are all different. A few have troubling accounts. But they are almost all settled. There is no nuance to your perspective..

we know 100% fact some of those women have admitted to being in on it for the money, those texts were released. That coupled with the fact that not a single one of those 25 women went to the cops or found their own lawyer, and all 25 women found the same lawyer who is a known sleazy lawyer in the Houston area...does all of that not give you at least a tad bit of pause to think something seems a bit off there?

Now put that into a time frame for context.

Watson refuses to play for the Texans.
Texans are pissed.
Suddenly a sleazy Houston lawyer gathers these women together for a lawsuit against him.

The timing of it all is more than a little suspicious. Watson refuses to play for the Texans. Now there's a chance he never plays again for anybody.

Don't forget, the Texans were also implicated in this. Why?
Could it be because they knew all along about this and kept it secret until such time that Watson refused to play for them anymore, and then in retaliation made it so he never played again for anyone?

The Texans, like Watson, also settled with these women out of court.

If Watson is sleazy, then the Texans are that much sleazier for keeping this a secret while Watson still played for them.

Or... none of it is true, and the Texans were simply retaliating against Watson for refusing to play for them anymore.

Those are the only two scenarios that add up for me.
