Rape charge
On November 14, 2013, the District Attorney General announced that they had opened an investigation into James Winston into a sexual assault allegation. The report of possible rape was filed with the Tallahassee Police Department (TPD) on December 7, 2012. However, in February 2013, the complaint was classified as pending / inactive with no charges brought. Tallahassee Police said the ad went inactive "when the victim broke off contact with the TPD and her attorney said she did not want to continue working at that point". Police only re-examined the complaint after the media learned of the case in early November 2013 and began soliciting information. In the present case, the police are accused of inappropriate behavior by both parties. The Prosecutor claims to have been pressured to drop / rest her allegation. Winston's lawyer, on the other hand, complained of inappropriate leaks from the police, which had passed information to the media and thus led to this trial. Florida's policy is that athletes charged with a felony cannot play until their case is resolved. Since Jameis Winston was not charged, he was able to continue playing on the football team during the investigations and thus lead the team to the national championship and receive several titles and prizes. From this it can be inferred that a conscious attempt was made to dispense with charges of sexual assault in order to harm the college team and the player as little as possible. The documentation The Hunting Ground gives evidence of this . On December 5, 2013, Attorney General Willie Meggs announced the completion of the investigation and stated that no charges would be brought against anyone in the case. He backed his grounds for judgment with "major problems" with the testimony of the plaintiff Erica Kinsman (who had publicly claimed to be a victim). Meggs stated, "As prosecutors, we only prosecute if the evidence leads to a likely conviction in court. In this case, the evidence does not."
On April 16, 2014, the New York Times reported irregularities in its investigation into possible rape by Jameis Winston:
The plaintiff underwent an examination immediately after the possible rape and found semen on her underwear and bruises on her body. 34 days after the possible rape, Plaintiff Kinsman identified the football player Winston by name as her attacker. Tallahassee police then contacted Winston about 13 days later. Despite the sperm found, no DNA sample was taken from Winston until the prosecutor took over the case months later. When Jameis Winston's DNA sample was then taken in November 2013, it was found to be identical to the semen found in the plaintiff's underwear. The police investigation, which revealed many inconsistencies, was conducted by police officer Scott Angulo, who, the New York Times article found, was doing private security work for the Seminole Boosters, the main sponsor of Florida State's sports teams.
The official hearing at Florida State University was presided over by retired Supreme Court Justice Major B. Harding on December 21, 2014. He acquitted Winston of violating the Student Code of Conduct through sexual assault. An excerpt from the judgment:
"The credibility of one story is not much stronger than that of the other. Both have their own strengths and weaknesses. It cannot be said with certainty that the events presented by the plaintiff are more likely than they are not. However, this would be necessary to identify a violation of the code of conduct by Jameis Winston. That is the determining factor of my decision. "
Plaintiff, Erica Kinsman, filed a civil lawsuit against Winston in April 2014, which he sued her for defamation and illicit interference in May 2014. In a September 2015 ruling, Federal Judge Anne C. Conway dismissed Winston's unlawful interference suit, but also denied a motion to dismiss his libel suit. Winston and Kinsman's lawsuits have been combined and are due to commence in May 2017 in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida.
In November 2015, Winston told CNN that he was ready to file a lawsuit if The Hunting Ground network were to screen their homonymous documentary about rape on college campuses, with controversial claims about Winston. A revised version aired on November 22, 2015 on CNN.
In 2016, the university paid $ 950,000 to a suit of Kinsman for violation of Title IX by the Florida State University out of court to settle. The university has also agreed to run sexual awareness programs for five years. To date, she admitted no guilt in the rape case.
Shoplifting
In July 2013, a Burger King employee called the police because Jameis Winston was stealing soda drinks. According to the police report, Winston came into the restaurant with three men but did not order any food or drinks. An employee who recognized him saw him illegally filling some soda and asked Winston to stop refilling himself, but that didn't stop Winston from continuing.
On April 29, 2014, Winston was sentenced to civil penalty for stealing crab legs in a Publix supermarket in Tallahassee . Winston had to do 20 community hours and was not allowed to play football until those hours were served.
