Houston Lawyer Tony Buzbee Responds Deshaun Watsons’ Team Requesting Accusers To Reveal Their Names

Deshaun Watson’s legal team made their most recent move in his sexual assault case when they asked the court to have the accusers reveal their names as part of the suit. Watson’s team won that small legal battle.

While Deshaun Watson may have been hoping that this ruling would help his case, Houston lawyer Tony Buzbee has assured everyone that his accusers are fully prepared to reveal themselves if that’s what it takes.

“We previously attempted to make available to Defense Counsel the names of the plaintiffs suing Deshaun Watson, and intended to do so in due course,” Buzbee said in a new statement. “We were concerned about the safety of these plaintiffs, and asked the Watson team to agree to a protective order where the identities could be used in litigation, but not broadcast to the world.”

“The Watson team refused our offer to compromise. [They] instead insisted that we amend our petitions to name these women,” he continued. “It appears the Watson team thinks that if these courageous women are forced to identify themselves, they would slink away and not pursue the matter.”

Tony Buzbee indicates he has provided Rusty Hardin with names of all plaintiffs.

Tony Buzbee is trying to make it abundantly clear that him and these accusers are not going to go away any time soon. This lawsuit is going to be going on for a while. That serves as bad news for Deshaun Watson.
