A grand jury on Friday declined to indict Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson on nine criminal complaints, after 22 women accused him of harassment and sexual assault in civil lawsuits last year.
The grand jury's decision came about a year after the women first filed their suits, which have now been consolidated into one, accusing Watson of exposing himself, touching them with his penis or kissing them against their will during massage appointments.
'This is definitely a very emotional moment for me,' Watson, 26, said after the hearing, according to KHOU, in his first statements since the allegations surfaced last year.
'Today is definitely a big day and I think my Lord and savior Jesus Christ for letting the truth be heard and I thank everyone that was a part of this of seeing and hearing both sides.'
The FBI also had been reviewing the allegations, and the civil lawsuits will go on as planned, though no trial date has been set.
Watson was benched all of last season due to what the team described as a 'non-injury reasons/personal matter,' leaving the Texans without a reliable quarterback. Consequently, Houston finished 4-13 and head coach David Culley was fired in January after just one year at the helm.
The Georgia native signed a four-year, $156 million contract extension in 2020 and has already made more than $51 million throughout his short NFL career.

The grand jury considered nine criminal complaints before it decided not to move forward with charges on Friday.
'Today we presented nine criminal complaints for consideration by the grand jury,' said prosecutor Johna Stallings, according to CBS Sports.
'Beginning at 9 o'clock this morning, we presented evidence for over six hours for the grand jury to consider, as well as having witnesses available for those persons to testify in front of the grand jury,' said Stallings, the division chief of adult sex crimes and trafficking at the Harris County District Attorney's Office.
'And the grand jury considered all of that evidence and returned nine no bills against Deshaun Watson involving these nine criminal complaints. We respect the grand jury's decision and ... conclude the criminal proceedings in Harris County.'
The NFL has been investigating him for almost a year, though Watson collected $10.5 million last year while sitting out the entire season. Above, Watson on Friday after a grand jury decided not to criminally charge him based on nine criminal complaints

The NFL said it is 'closely monitoring all developments in the matter.' Watson had previously requested to be traded out of the Houston Texans, though the request is on hold pending his legal matters
The NFL released a statement after the grand jury's findings, saying it is 'closely monitoring all developments in the matter.'
The league has been investigating Watson for almost a year, though the star quarterback collected $10.5 million last year while sitting out the entire season, CBS Sports reported.
But frustration from a losing 2020 season, the trade of wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins and not being involved in discussions surrounding the team's decisions on a new head coach reportedly sparked Watson's request to be traded.
That request has been put on hold due to Watson's ongoing legal matters.
In March and April 2021, Watson was accused of forcing women to perform oral sex on him, disrobing and forcibly touching massage therapists and other women, among several claims.
He has denied the allegations, and through his attorney Rusty Hardin has said that any sexual contact between himself and the women was consensual.

The alleged incidents all took place in 2020 and 2021.
His lawyers have said 'some sexual activity' happened during some of the massage appointments but that he never coerced anyone. They have sought to balance their defense of the NFL star while simultaneously condemning sexual violence against women.
Watson's attorneys have called the lawsuits against him a 'money grab' and claimed that all 22 women who filed suit are lying - a strategy some experts and advocates say relies on long-used tropes designed to minimize such accusations.
Last month, a judge ruled that Watson could face questions under oath in nine of the 22 consolidated sexual assault lawsuits against him after his lawyers tried to delay the process pending the outcome of the criminal investigations, which has now been decided.
'Deshaun Watson's team loudly and publicly claims he is innocent and wants nothing more than to clear his name, yet he refuses to sit in a room and face his accusers and answer questions under oath,' attorney Tony Buzbee, who represents the accusers, said at a press conference.
Hardin, Watson's lawyer, argued that no attorney would allow a client to give sworn testimony in a civil case ahead of a potential criminal case.
Buzbee has said some of his clients have faced criticism and even death threats.
Even before the lawsuits were filed in March 2021, Watson had asked to be traded. The trade request and the lawsuits kept Watson out all last season. The Texans were expected to try and trade Watson this offseason.
The civil case against Watson will continue as attorneys for the 22 women have begun questioning him during depositions that are part of the lawsuits.
Most of the women have already been deposed by Watson's attorneys. No trial date has been set for the lawsuits.
In January, it was reported that Watson made five- and six-figure settlement offers to a number of the 22 women who have sued him for sexual misconduct over the last year.
The Daily Beast published one $100,000 offer, which explains that Watson would only enter into the agreement to 'buy peace' and continues to deny the allegations
As explained in the offer, Watson would not concede any guilty in the lawsuits
The Daily Beast published one $100,000 offer, which explains that Watson would only enter into the agreement to 'buy peace' and continues to deny the allegations.
The confidential agreement also stipulates that the accuser agree to dismiss the lawsuit with prejudice 'within 24 hours of the Execution Date,' comply with a non-disparagement clause that bars her from criticizing Watson publicly, and forbids her from disclosing the amount of the settlement.
The recipient of the offer published by the Daily Beast reportedly declined.
Watson to date has earned over $51 million over his first five NFL seasons, according to Spotrac.com. Ahead of the 2020 season, he signed a four-year $156 million contract with the Texans.
The recipient of the published settlement offer was not identified by the Daily Beast, although several other Watson accusers have spoken out publicly, saying they've suffered post-traumatic stress, depression, and anxiety since their encounters with the three-time Pro Bowl quarterback.
Last fall, massage therapist Nia Lewis told YouTube personality Tasha K. about various sessions with Watson in which he allegedly harassed her and forcibly touched her against her wishes.

'He basically didn't want the rest of his body massaged, he wanted his groin area massaged and his butt only,' Lewis told Tasha K., echoing accusations from other female massage therapists against Watson.
'He kept saying ''Do you want to put in your mouth?'' It was just very very uncomfortable.'
As she explained to Tasha K., Lewis initially became concerned about Watson when he told her to focus on his buttocks during massages.
'The only thing that really bothered me in the first appointment was that he kept asking me to go inside his butt, and I was just so confused,' Lewis said.
'Normally with any of my clients, I'll stop at the lower thigh and he kept asking me to go inside. I originally thought it was the crack and so I would go around that area and he still wasn't satisfied. He was very adamant and was saying don't be afraid to go inside.'
Another appointment with Watson involved him touching her without her consent.
'The second appointment was really inappropriate, he was very touchy feely,' Lewis continued. 'He would act like he would accidentally brush up against my butt. It was to the point to where it came a time in the massage where I was massaging him from a distance because he kept trying to touch me.'
In April of last year, massage therapist Ashley Solis became the first accuser to come forward.
'My name is Ashley Solis,' the licensed massage therapist said at an emotional press conference alongside Buzbee, the lead attorney for the accusers. 'Remember that name. ... I was afraid. I'm not afraid anymore.
In a press conference in April 2021, accuser Ashley Solis says she can no longer do her job as a massage therapist 'without shaking during the session' after Watson allegedly forced his erect penis into her hand during a session
'I am survivor of assault and harassment,' she continued. 'Deshaun Watson is my assaulter and my harasser; he assaulted me at my home doing what I love most, massage therapy.'
'I can no longer practice the profession that I love the most without shaking during the session,' she said. 'My hands shake whenever I place them on a client and have to cut the session short. If only he knew how heartbreaking that is to me.
'I got into massage therapy to heal people — to heal their minds and bodies. To bring peace to their souls. Deshaun Watson has robbed me of that. He took that away from me, he tainted a profession in which I take enormous pride.
'Flashes of Watson's face rush to me in the moment. I think of his penis touching me, which sends me into a tailspin. I suffer from panic attacks, anxiety and depression. I am in counseling as a result of Deshaun Watson's actions. I hope he knows how much pain he's inflicted on me emotionally and physically. I hope he knows how much pain he's inflicted on these other survivors.'
According to Solis's filing, which was obtained by DailyMail.com, Watson exposed himself during his massage in March of 2020 before adjusting his position to force his erect penis into her hand.
'Plaintiff abruptly ended the massage and asked Watson to leave her house,' read the filing.
Solis said she was in tears as Watson left. On his way out, she said, Watson told her: 'I know you have a career and a reputation, and I know you would hate for someone to mess with yours, just as I don't want anyone messing with mine.'
'I replay the incident over and over in my head as if I'm trying to wake up for some horrible nightmare, only that nightmare is real,' she said at the press conference.
Later, Solis said, Watson reached out via text message to apologize for the incident, but she did not respond. Buzbee has since shared that alleged text message from Watson to Solis on social media.
Buzbee has shared a text message that he claims was sent by Watson to apologize to Solis
'Sorry about you feeling uncomfortable,' read the text message. 'Never were the intensions. Lmk if you want to work in the future. My apologies.'
The lead attorneys in the case are two of the best-known lawyers in Texas.
Rusty Hardin, Watson's lead lawyer, is a civil and criminal defense attorney who represented ex-pitcher Roger Clemens when he was acquitted in 2012 of charges that he lied to Congress by denying he used performance-enhancing drugs.
Buzbee has handled various high-profile cases, including representing former Texas Gov. Rick Perry in an abuse-of-power case and settling lawsuits for 10 teenagers who had accused eccentric Texas millionaire Stanley Marsh 3 of paying them for sexual acts.
DESHAUN WATSON'S ACCUSERS
Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson currently faces 22 lawsuits accusing him of various sexual misconduct.
The plaintiffs, most of who work as massage therapists or in other similar professions, filed separate lawsuits as Jane Does in 2021, claiming that Watson exposed himself, attempted to coerce them into sex, and in some cases, touched them with his penis during private sessions. Two of the women also sued for sexual assault, claiming Watson forced them to perform oral sex on him.
Now all of the plaintiffs have agreed to be identified after two Harris County (Texas) judges ordered 13 of the Jane Does to publicly disclose their names last year.
The following are Watson's accusers who have been identified so far:
