Watson's statement, as drafted by her attorney, Nancy Erika Smith, contains two rape allegations. The first accuses Fairfax and the second refers to an unnamed Duke basketball player, who Watson says assaulted her in 1999. Watson, who The Washington Post reports majored in psychology, also asserts that she notified "the Dean" about the alleged rape by a basketball player. This dean, who Watson does not name and who could refer to different types of deans, advised her to drop the topic. Watson says she also confided in Fairfax, who Watson contends then became more confident that he could force Watson into non-consensual sexual relations. According to Watson, Fairfax felt that because she was "too afraid to say anything" about the basketball player raping her he, too could rape her without getting into trouble.
