Jameis Winston Sexual Assault Claim
http://www.tmz.com/2013/11/13/jameis-win...ault/print
Quote:Law enforcement and other sources tell TMZ .... a woman filed a sexual assault complaint with the Tallahassee PD on December 7, 2012.
There's a problem here, though. On December 7, 2012 Florida State was in Charlotte playing Georgia Tech in the ACC Championship. Winston was a redshirt last year, did he not travel with the team? How long did she wait to file the claim?
It's strange that it took nearly a year to come out, now that he's a championship and Heisman contender.

You're right, never mind about that. I used the date for this year's game.

Strange now coming out.
if true, off the team, but let's make sure it is true before ruining a man's career.

The report says he was 5 9 to 5"11.......Jameis is 6'4. I agree interesting how it just came out though.

RE: Jameis Winston Sexual Assault Claim
Why's it just coming out? If true it's a shame because he seems like a good guy, and no one should have to be the victim of sexual assault. If it's not true then it's BS how people can claim assault or rape and pretty much trash someones name and reputation like that...either way one side of this situation is extremely crappy to the other.

RE: Jameis Winston Sexual Assault Claim
I don't think the timing is that strange. TMZ probably did a random search of names in the headlines and this showed up.
I have to think FSU knew about this and would not risk allowing him to remain on the team if there was any truth to the matter.

Yeah, because a school would never play a FB player who sexually assulted a woman.

RE: Jameis Winston Sexual Assault Claim
It can take around a year for forensic evidence to become available. It's possible this whole thing is happening because the State finally has evidence.

RE: Jameis Winston Sexual Assault Claim
The incident was reported December of last year, so this isn't a case of someone NOW coming forward. The victim seems to have gone to police right away. The shady side is why did the police not forward this to the states attorney until now?

The reason I just posted is one possible reason.
It's interesting this is going to the State Attorney's office at all.

RE: Jameis Winston Sexual Assault Claim
Winston's attorney was told in February the case was closed. Nothing further ensued until within the last week.
Winston was never interviewed or questioned by police, per his attorney.
He was never arrested.
Per his attorney there are two affidavits with "vital information" from witnesses who were present that he has handed over to the State.
Police report lists the suspect between 5'9"-5'11" with straight hair.
-------------------------------
Yet a couple legal savants on here are calling it "shady" and "interesting".

It's not closed unless its closed. Besides, something can be nolle prossed with leave to reinstate.
An interview may not have been needed.
A lot of jurisdictions won't arrest a kid if they know the alleged victim. I'm not sure about in Florida but here even just the felony arrest stays on your record so a lot of places only arrest a kid if they deem it necessary.
I'm sure there are witnesses.
The IO report isn't conclusive
The thing is, I've heard some rather interesting stories about Winston from people around his old baseball crowd. You never really know anybody like this. Still, the kid gets the benefit of the doubt that this is untrue. I don't, however, see the timing as strange in the least; there are a myriad of legitimate reasons as to why now.

RE: Jameis Winston Sexual Assault Claim
I'll stick with "This story is yet to make any objective, non-speculative sense, that it was leaked by somebody now, instead of months ago, for reasons unknown, and that none of us know if Winston's even a suspect, seeing as he's not listed in the initial report, has never been charged and the case was presumed closed 9 months ago."

RE: Jameis Winston Sexual Assault Claim
The minute this state's attorney brings charges, Winston will be immediately suspended. Makes me want to keep an eye on this attorney's recent bank deposits. This attorney has absolute power over FSU now. He might want to consider moving out of town though if he pulls this after a year. He will probably wait to file charges until the eve of the NCG.

What's weird to me is Winston's attorney saying there are two witnesses who will corroborate Winston's story, when Winston has refused to give his "story" to the police ...

What's weird about that? Any halfway-decent lawyer would tell their client not to talk to the police if the police don't have any evidence to charge you in a case of this potential magnitude. No need to say one thing and have the police interpret it a different way.

Conspiracy theory #1: Urban Meyer is behind the resurrection of this story to knock FSU out of the title game so OSU can get in.
