Four more women sue Texans QB

They accuse Deshaun Watson of sexual assault and harassment. The NFL was already investigating allegations by three massage therapists who said he sexually assaulted them.

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson has been sued by four more women who accuse him of sexual assault and harassment.

The lawsuits were filed Thursday night, hours after the NFL said it was investigating earlier allegations by three massage therapists who said the quarterback sexually assaulted them during massages.

The claims in the four new suits, which were filed in a Harris County state district court, mirror those in the three earlier cases. Each woman who sued Thursday worked in a spa or gave massages and claims that Watson exposed himself, touched them with his penis or kissed them against their will.

Watson, 25, has broadly denied that he acted inappropriately and said he looks forward to clearing his name.
