Watson strongly denied the allegations through his attorney, and has since settled the case .

The settlement came two years after Watson faced more than 20 lawsuits for varying degrees of sexual assault .

These lawsuits were settled out of court , but the NFL still proceeded to penalize Watson with an 11-game suspension ahead of the 2022 season, his first in Cleveland.
