A Harris County grand jury declined to charge Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson over allegations of harassment and sexual misconduct. Harris County division chief of adult sex crimes and trafficking Johna Stallings said after court they presented nine criminal complaints but the grand jury chose not to indict the NFL star.
Watson told reporters outside his attorneys’ office that justice was served.
“It’s definitely a very emotional moment for me. I know we’re far from being done of handling what we need to handle (legally),” Watson said. “I thank my Lord and savior, Jesus Christ, for letting the truth be heard.”
Watson’s girlfriend, Jilly Anais, also spoke publicly on the matter for the first time. The first thing she did was drop some bikini pictures just minutes after the ruling.
She then took to her Instagram story and reposted what Watson wrote on Twitter.
“When you stand on the TRUTH, the LORD will FREE you!” he said in a message on Twitter.

Now, Watson has plans to rebuild his name,
“I’m going to keep fighting to rebuild my name,” he said. “Rebuild my appearance in the community. We’re going to, on the legal side, continue to handle what we need to handle. Also ready to be able to get back on the field, being prepped for that and ready to go.”
First things first, the Houston Texans should be getting a plethora of calls to trade him soon.
