Deshaun Watson is traded to the Cleveland Browns in $230M deal

Last year, Hardin called the claims against Watson 'meritless' and alleged they were made following a failed attempt to blackmail his client for $30,000.  He previously accused the plaintiffs of being motivated by financial gain, saying that massage therapist Ashley Solis originally sought a $100,000 settlement from his client. 

The grand jury considered criminal complaints from nine of Watson's accusers before it decided not to move forward with charges last Friday. The complaints all involved allegations of sexual harassment or sexual assault.

The premier also made clear that the UK intends to push ahead with North Sea oil and gas development - and potentially fracking - saying the country will 'make better use of our own naturally occurring hydrocarbons'.  

'He basically didn't want the rest of his body massaged, he wanted his groin area massaged and his butt only,' Lewis told Tasha K., echoing accusations from other female massage therapists against Watson. 'He kept saying ''Do you want to put in your mouth?'' It was just very very uncomfortable.'

Several Telegram channels critical of the Kremlin reported that students and employees of state institutions in a number of regions were ordered by their superiors to attend rallies and concerts marking the Crimea anniversary.

The despot took to the stage dressed in a £10,000 Loro Piana jacket - despite his country's economy crumbling under the weight of Western sanctions - to address a crowd waving Russian national flags and banners marked with the letter 'Z', which has become a potent symbol of the invasion. 

He is accused of forcing women to perform oral sex on him, disrobing and forcibly touching massage therapists and other women, among several allegations. He has denied these claims and, through his attorney, insisted that any sexual interaction with the women was entirely consensual. 

The grand jury's decision came about a year after the women first filed their suits, which have now been consolidated into one, accusing Watson of exposing himself, touching them with his penis or kissing them against their will during massage appointments. 

In the wake of the invasion, the Kremlin has cracked down harder on dissent and the flow of information, arresting thousands of antiwar protesters, banning sites such as Facebook and Twitter, and handing out tough prison sentences for what it says is false reporting on the war, which Moscow refers to as a 'special military operation.'

Speaking in front of banners that read 'For a world without Nazism' and 'For Russia' - with the letter 'Z' in each picked out in bold - he said: 'Sevastopol [capital of Crimea] did the right thing when they put up a barrier to neo-Nazis and radicals, which is already happening on other territories. 

Putin used the rally to peddle falsehoods about why the war started and to shill a narrative of Russia's battlefield success, speaking of 'how our guys are fighting during this operation, shoulder to shoulder, helping each other'

Watson still faces civil lawsuits and he was questioned at his lawyer's office for four hours last week before his meeting with Cleveland. And he also might face disciplinary action from the NFL under the personal conduct policy. 

Earlier this week, the QB-hungry Carolina Panthers, New Orleans Saints and Cleveland 7 grade math work Browns met with Watson, according to multiple reports, and he purportedly was set to visit with Atlanta on Wednesday before choosing a team. The Dolphins were supposedly interested in trading for him before the November deadline. 

Putin's rally was quickly likened to similar massive marches held by North Korea's dictator Kim Jong-Un, which are said to be attended by citizens who are given no other choice, as well as the massive evangelical rallies hosted by American minister Billy Graham in America.

In a press conference in April 2021, accuser Ashley Solis says she can no longer do her job as a massage therapist 'without shaking during the session' after Watson allegedly forced his erect penis into her hand during a session

And a bizarre moment in the speech came when Putin suddenly disappeared from news feeds in mid-sentence - replaced by a band that was mid-way through singing, perhaps suggesting his address was not broadcast live. 

The three-time Pro Bowler suddenly became a hot commodity on the NFL trade market last week when a grand jury declined to indict Watson on nine criminal complaints, after 22 women accused him of harassment and sexual assault in civil lawsuits last year
