CLEVELAND (AP) — A second grand jury in Texas has declined to indict new Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson, who has been accused of sexual misconduct by 22 women and still faces civil lawsuits. The decision was announced shortly after Watson arrived in Cleveland to meet his new team. While Watson was undergoing a physical and meeting with Browns coaches, the grand jury in Brazoria County was listening to evidence. It later announced it had declined to charge the three-time Pro Bowler with any crimes. Brazoria County District Attorney Tom Selleck said the matter is closed. Twenty-two massage therapists have accused Watson of sexual assault and harassment in lawsuits.
