The Facts: The latest sexual assault lawsuit against Watson -- the 22nd case of its kind lodged since last month -- contends he used at least 50 women for massages and that he, at times, told them what to wear. The latest plaintiff -- a licensed esthetician -- accuses Watson of assault and harassment, alleging that he inappropriately touched himself and her.

According to court documents, Watson found the woman on Instagram last November and asked for a massage. She tried referring him to a licensed massage therapist but he declined and insisted on an appointment for that night. The massage escalated with Watson attempting to bring the woman's hands closer to his penis. The woman ended the massage abruptly and Watson then handed her a non-disclosure agreement to sign. "In order for him to pay her, she had to sign," court papers read. She signed the document and Watson paid her $250 through CashApp -- about four times more than what the service should have cost. Following a flurry of civil litigation, the Houston Police Department confirmed last Friday that it was conducting an investigation into an allegation. The prior cases, filed on behalf of the women by Houston lawyer Tony Buzbee, contend that Watson was sexually inappropriate with several massage therapists or wellness professionals during encounters stretching from 2020 to recent months.
