Speaking at a news conference alongside attorney Tony Buzbee, Solis, a massage therapist, said that her decision to speak publicly was to “take back the power and take back control.”
“I am a survivor of assault and harassment,” Solis said. “Deshaun Watson is my assaulter and harrasser. Deshaun Watson assaulted and harrassed me on March 30, 2020, in my own home, doing what I love most — massage therapy.”
Watson has been accused of sexual assault and harassment in various degrees since mid-March, with 22 women involved in various civil cases against him, all alleging some form of sexual assault or harassment. All women are represented by Buzbee.
Buzbee said that Solis delivered a statement to Houston police.
The Houston Police Department has opened an investigation after a complaint was filed against Watson on April 5. The NFL is investigating Watson under its personal conduct policy.
“People say that I’m doing this just for money,” Solis said. “That is false. I come forward now so that Deshaun Watson does not assault another woman.”
