FBI Investigating NFL’S Deshaun Watson For Alleged Sexual Misconduct
NFL player Deshaun Watson could be in some serious hot water as the FBI is allegedly investigating claims of sexual misconduct against him.
Tony Buzbee, who is representing the alleged victims revealed the news, adding,
“They contacted me and I’ve met with them three times now and now they’ve met with several of the plaintiffs in the case.”
Watson’s lawyer Rusty Hardin responded to the news on Wednesday. The quaterback had 23 civil suits filed against him, 22 of which are still active, and claim that Watson acted inappropriately with female therapists during massage sessions.
“In April, the FBI came to us and told us they were investigating a matter as to whether one of Mr. [Tony] Buzbee’s clients had committed extortion in the way they were demanding money from Deshaun or what they would do if they didn’t pay it,” Hardin said in a news conference.

Per ABC 13, the FBI reportedly met with him to discuss Watson’s case.
“I don’t think they’re investigating Deshaun,” Hardin added. “What they’re investigating is the allegations Buzbee has made in his lawsuits. I didn’t know about that until yesterday, and then I checked it out and it’s true. They are.”
The 25-year-old NFL star has not yet commented and he has been getting ready to play with the Houston Texans.
