Deshaun Watson's accusers' attorney responds to reports of woman's son claiming mother changed tone after allegations came to light

New information on the long-running Deshaun Watson scandal came to light yesterday. In a series of tweets, Josina Anderson of CBS Sports suggested that there was a recording of the son of one of the Cleveland Browns quarterback's accusers. In the recording, he admitted that his mother altered her account of Watson after the allegations of sexual misconduct came to light.

Anderson tweeted:

"I’m told there’s a recording of an interview with the adult son of 1 of 12 women the NFL interviewed in the Deshaun Watson case — stating his mom initially was complimentary of Watson in their conversations after the massage, but later switched her account and tone after negative allegations surfaced about Watson."

Anderson continued:

"The son intimated his mother intended to reward his silence, per league source. There’s a feeling that the NFL was initially cagey about details they learned from the woman’s son — after only mentioning they interviewed him in their report."

Tony Buzbee, the high-profile attorney representing most of the accusers, produced a stinging rebuttal. He denied that the woman mentioned by Anderson was one of his clients.

He said:

"It has been reported that 12 alleged victims spoke to the NFL. I have confirmed that 10 of those women were my clients. None of my clients had a son questioned by the NFL. As I’ve said, there were several women who called my office wanting to sue DW that I decided, based on my trial experience, not to represent."

When will a verdict on the Deshaun Watson case be announced?

It has been a week since Judge Sue Robinson brought the disciplinary hearing to a close. There has been no suggestion that a verdict is about to be announced. However, as witnessed with the press release confirming the hearing, the NFL has a habit of trying to put these matters under the radar.

NFL insiders believe a decision won't be made for another week or two, with discussions no doubt still taking place.

It has been rumored that the NFL wants an indefinite suspension, while Watson's team is seeking something far less severe. A compromise would suit all parties, as neither will want this dragged through the court system.
