A second Texas grand jury has declined to indict Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson on sexual assault charges.
“After a careful and thorough review of the facts and evidence documented in the reports prepared by the Brazoria County Sheriff’s Office and the Houston Police Department, as well as hearing testimony from witnesses, the Grand Jury for Brazoria County has declined to charge Deshaun Watson with any crimes. Accordingly, this matter is closed,” Brazoria County District Attorney Tom Selleck said in a statement.
A grand jury heard the case against Watson on Wednesday regarding an allegation that was separate from those made against him in Harris County, Texas. A grand jury in Harris County previously chose to not indict Watson on criminal charges related to multiple sexual assault and misconduct allegations.
Twenty-two women have filed civil lawsuits against Watson for sexual assault and misconduct, making allegations ranging from unwanted touching to forced oral sex.
