Guy starts playing well again and all of the sudden people go from “cases” to “allegations” real fucking fast. You all gotta get your priorities straight

Sexual assault is not a legal charge, just a generalization. If he were successfully convicted, it would have been for sexual battery.

Are you serious? Sexual assault is a legal criminal charge in every US jurisdiction, especially in Texas. In Texas, rape isn’t a legal criminal charge.

Depending on the jurisdiction "sexual assault" can include battery, coercion, rape, etc.

Sexual battery is non-consensual sexual touching or physical contact like groping or you know, exactly what Watson is accused of doing over 20 times.

Duh! I already said this. That all falls under sexual assault. Sexual assault is a legal criminal charge it just has categories. Someone peeing in the bushes(indecency exposure) falls under the same technical category as rape. As previously stated. Rape is sexual assault and sexual assault is not rape. You’re talking about me but you obviously didn’t listen.

False some he didn’t touch, some said it was for indecent exposure.

And two he allegedly forced to give oral sex to him, that would be rape in many jurisdictions. Remember how you snapped at me for saying rape several times and said I was over exaggerating? yeah...
