I did not know a case could be dismissed before it gets heard in court.

I think several cases have to be dropped and re-filed due to a judge saying that the cases need to have real names attached.

Seems like it; it’s seems that the plaintiff just dismissed her own case, for some reason. Can’t tell why.  She might re-file it, or not.

That should not be necessary.  The existing complaints can just be amended to add the plaintiffs’ real names.

In any case looks like still cases in the double digits, more and more of them seem fine with rolling with their real names.

When a plantiff decides to drop the case I thought it was withdrawn.

“Withdrawn” isn’t really a legal term.  Complaints that are filed, but don’t make it to trial are dismissed.  Complaints are dismissed for all sorts of reasons, including settlements or a judge finding that the case has no merit.

Not necessarily. Dismissed could mean that the judge dismissed it, whereas dropped just means the plaintiff withdrew the suit.

 

Do we know for a fact how that happened? I didn’t see anything on it other than this tweet.

Only “new” news I heard earlier today was that the dismissed suit was not a result of any kind of settlement with that plaintiff.

 

EDIT: It seems clear now the one plaintiff that withdrew her suit did so because she did not want her name released, as now all 21 of 22 plaintiffs will after judges’ decisions.

““Plaintiff was mentally beat, the pressure from Watson’s relentless instruction coercing her against her will left her powerless,” the lawsuit alleges.”

That reads like one of those 1980s paperback novels with Fabio on the cover.

This is good news for the defense.  Just imagine how many makeup artists Watson didn't sexually assault....

"Were there any consensual sexual encounters after a massage? Yes"

I know there is porn dedicated to stuff happening during/after a massage, but a massage treatment is not sexual. It isn't supposed to be. That's a massive red flag when he's flying these women in for what seems to be a booty call, unbeknownst to them. "He didn't coerce or use his position of power." Even if he didn't do this consciously, come on. You simply can't be a guy like DeShaun Watson and not have that power inherently. It's like the Louis CK thing (and what Louie did wasn't right but I think amounted to making some women feel deeply uncomfortable). When you're in a position like that, people who view you as an idol of some kind can perceive that you have the power to advance their careers in some way, or ruin them if you say no, even if it isn't directly implied a la Harvey Weinstein.

 

I get sometimes it can be tricky to discern true consent, but there are situations where maybe you should use Tinder instead, or have the woman agree to perform these acts before flying them in.

 

I'm not going to assert Watson is guilty, but these admissions are from his own lawyer.

This is what happens when you treat women as objects and not as human beings.
