Deshaun signed a massive contract with the Browns and as expected, a lot of people were not happy with the deal as his name in the harassment case is not cleared as of yet. However, what comes as a relief for Deshaun, on Thursday, a Brazoria County grand jury declined to indict Deshaun Watson.

After considering all the pieces of evidence produced in the criminal complaint against Deshaun alleging sexual misconduct, the jury decided not to indict the footballer. “After a careful and thorough review of the facts and evidence documented in the reports prepared by the Brazoria County Sheriff’s Office and the Houston Police Department, as well as hearing testimony from witnesses, the Grand Jury for Brazoria County has declined to charge Deshaun Watson with any crimes,” Brazoria County District Attorney Tom Selleck claimed in a statement as reported by NFL.com
