WIth no contact? That's millennial sexual assault I guess.
Yes. Society frowns upon people masturbating in front of undesired viewers. If you flash someone on the street today and are arrested, you’d be charged with indecent exposure and sexual assault. Sorry that society has advanced on this shit.

Not to mention this is all he said/she said situations and the result of a lawyer issuing a cattle call for more cases.
These are always he said she said situations. That means nothing. The standard for guilt in our criminal justice system vs the NFL code of conduct are entirely different things.

Ran across this article.

Browns QB DeShaun Watson settles all but 4 of 24 lawsuits alleging sexual misconduct (from usatoday)

Tony Buzbee, plaintiffs attorney

"Today I announce that all cases against Deshaun Watson, with the exception of four, have been settled."

"The terms and amounts of the settlements are confidential. We won't comment further on the settlements of those cases"

Speaking of that scumbag heard yesterday the league will announce his suspension by the 4th of July.

I caught part of a discussion at the end of the Dan Patrick Show where they were saying that all but 4 of the lawsuits have been settled. I didn't hear the whole conversation, so no details just yet (didn't sound like DP had any either.

In the NFL’s eyes a settlement is an admission of guilt. Maybe that 1 year suspension appealed to 8-12 games is legit.

Like I've said before he deserves whatever he gets. If it's a long suspension maybe some Browns fans will have an issue. But I won't.

Again, how is a suspension even possible without a legal outcome first? The most they should be able to do is the exempt list.

It depends. Just because something isn't illegal, doesn't mean it isn't a violation of NFL rules/guidelines. Especially if it tends to reflect badly on "the shield".

In public is very different to in private

Basically that he entered a massage appointment with the idea of coercing them to have sex with him.
I haven't read all the accusations. Is the worst that he whacked himself off in front of them and maybe jizzed on them? Never mind they were so appalled they watched and remained close enough to get squirted.

FYI, if he did do this that is awful and deserves a major punishment...just wondering if he's accused of worse.

Haven't heard a lot, but the little I have heard, would be difficult to talk about on radio and not end up with an FCC violation of some sort. The one I heard about...he became erect, then started masturbating in front of her and when he finished, he got some on her.

I guess the obvious question is, why was she still in the room?
AND stayed close enough to get squirted?

Damn good question, wish I had the answer. But just tired of all the scumbag Watsons stuff. Announce the suspension already!
sounds like it might be much sooner than later after the settlements according to, I believe, Rappaport.

And conduct unbecoming is purposefully vague contract language that can be used to justify action taken in many different cases. The negative publicity he has brought to the league and the teams he’s been on is enough to trigger action. The NFL has its own code of conduct and their own standard for culpability.
True, but the NFL has said owners and executives should be held to a higher standard.
