Several Deshaun Watson accusers will appear on a new episode of"HBO Real Sports" Tuesday night to tell their story.When Deshaun Watson made it clear that he plans to fight the sexual misconduct accusations against him from 22 different plaintiffs, as opposed to settling the cases out of court, that was the signal that this whole legal saga was not going away any time soon.
“We should know what their position is initially sometime in June, and then everybody will figure out if there’s going to be a hearing about it or can people work things out, or whatever,” Hardin told cleveland.com by phone on Friday evening. “The only thing that’s certain is that they want to try to get everything done this summer — and earlier than later in the summer. Past that, we don’t really have any firm dates or possibilities.
While the civil lawsuits have evidence thresholds for Watson to be found liable of the accusations, the NFL's threshold for punishment is far more nebulous, and is very intertwined with public perception. The league has gotten blistered by critics in the past when they've gone too lightly on players behaving badly, so they will likely err to the side of being more stern in a high profile case like Watson's.
