The claims argue Watson, acquired by the Browns in a blockbuster trade that became official on March 21, knew of his own sexual proclivities in massage sessions but failed to take precautions to prevent a reoccurrence of them.
“By adding these new causes of action, they potentially widen the net of discoverable evidence they can obtain before trial and also add another way to recover damages in their lawsuits,” Schrotenboer writes.
. “We have also added a claim for negligence allowing a jury to assess liability for unreasonable and imprudent conduct as well. This claim is just another through which the jury can assess liability and damages against him. We will likely add this claim for most of the cases, although perhaps not all.”
Judge Rabeea Sultan Collier overruled objections from Watson’s attorney, Leah Graham, compelling Watson to list all women who gave him massages since 2019. Graham is a member of the team from attorney Rusty Hardin’s office representing Watson. Watson faces a possible suspension from the NFL for his conduct, regardless of the grand jury decisions and the pending outcome of the civil trials, which are likely to stretch into next year.the two sides in the cases have an agreement not to schedule trials on these cases from Aug. 1 through March 1, 2023, avoiding a conflict with the NFL season.
