They were also accused of sexual misconduct...

For some egotistic reason, athletes like Deshaun Watson have a general power rush when it comes to dating women. Many of them have a dark sexual misconduct history, some of them are just falsely accused but the list os too long to count them all here. This is a list of the most high-profile athletes that have been accused or convicted of sexual assault just like Deshaun Watson was.

Tiger Woods

Out of all the athletes on this list, Tiger Woods is the one who easily misbehaved the most as he was accused of having dozens of extra marital affairs. Women were also part of this ongoing misconduct that ultimately stained the golf legend's reputation and turned him into a pariah.

Diego Maradona

Diego Maradona had his fair share of scandals but one of the most worrying was an accusation of soliciting sex from two underage women. These accusations were made by Nexofin website, they published a set of pictures of Maradona wearing only boxers with two very young women who were also half naked.

No formal accusations were ever made against him. This encounter allegedly happened during Maradona's exile in Cuba. Elsewhere, Diario de Cuba did reveal another girl by the name of Mavys Alvarez and specified she was only 16 when she had a relationship with the late soccer star.

Mike Tyson

Out of every athlete on this list, Mike Tyson was the only one who was actually found guilty of rape in a court of law and did his sentence in prison.

But 'Big Ben' made an alleged second offense in 2010, an anonymous college student also accused him of raping her inside a bathroom at a Georgia nightclub. The victim's lawyer asked the district attorney to not prosecute Roethlisberger out of fear of violation of her privacy. In front of everybody, 'Big Ben' is guilty of rape at least once.
