Jameis Winston
Erica Kinsman, the woman accusing Florida State
University football star Jameis Winston of rape, has filed a federal
lawsuit against the school upon hearing the announcement he is going
to the NFL (National Football League). The lawsuit should be
dismissed. How is FSU responsible for what Kinsman claims Winston
did, which has already been proven to be a lie.
Suing a school for a "hostile educational
environment" is ludicrous. What about the hostile environments
Kinsman has created for Winston in being falsely accused of rape,
with rival football players mocking him and people online insulting
and threatening him. Kinsman and her lawyer aunt, Patricia Caroll,
are suing FSU in a cash grab, as the school has money, where Winston
does not at the present time.

The mere fact Kinsman and her aunt did not go to the
police first and opted to demand money, should be a clear indication
to many that the rape accusation is false. The fact people in
Winston's apartment submitted written affidavits stating they saw
her voluntarily go into Winston's bedroom with him, with one of the
football player's friends walking in on her performing oral sex on
him, leading to Kinsman laughing and telling him to close the door,
does not speak well regarding her credibility or claims. Rape
victims do not behave in that manner.
When Kinsman and her aunt finally went to the
authorities after their failed extortion bid, they sent police in
circles, withholding pertinent information and not returning calls
for follow up interviews, which makes their claims of rape appear
event more dubious. Why go to the police after a failed extortion
bid, then withhold information from authorities impeding their
investigation.
The fact subsequent tests revealed the presence of
two men's sperm inside Kinsman - Winston and that of another man-
the identity of which she deliberately tried to hide from police,
costing taxpayers money in tracking him down, created even more
credibility issues. This is not the profile of rape. It is the
profile of a financial scam gone awry.
Patricia Caroll
Florida State University’s president, John Thrasher,
stated, "After a year of selective news leaks and distorted
coverage, Florida State looks forward to addressing these meritless
allegations in court. Evidence will show that through its
confidential victim advocate program, F.S.U. did everything the
plaintiff asked for, and that the assertions F.S.U. shirked its
Title IX obligations are false. F.S.U.’s handling of this matter was
driven by the plaintiff’s deliberate and informed choice on how to
proceed, not by athletics.”
Many sports professionals consider Winston to be the
top university football player in America. He is expected to make
millions of dollars in the NFL draft via a lucrative deal. Kinsman
and her aunt already have their eyes on money Winston has not even
earned yet, waiting to file a civil suit the moment he signs his
first multimillion dollar deal. Once again, it should be evident,
this case is about money and not rape. The sad part is Winston's
life has been greatly damaged by it. Some believe he raped her, but
the evidence says otherwise.
In closing, men need to be careful regarding picking
up women they do not or barely know and having sex with them. While some women
have been raped, there are numerous cases around the world of women
crying rape out of revenge for a one night stand they thought was
something more or for financial gain.

Jameis Winston to Enter N.F.L. Draft; His Accuser Sues Florida
State
JAN. 7, 2015 - Jameis Winston was projected to be
either the first or second player chosen in the upcoming draft.
Quarterback Jameis Winston on Wednesday announced that he would make
himself available for the N.F.L. draft, the same day that Florida
State was sued by the woman who accused him of rape.
The lawsuit, filed in United States District Court
in Orlando, Fla., seeks a jury trial and damages while alleging that
the woman’s Title IX rights were violated, a lawyer for the woman
said. The lawsuit says Florida State created a “hostile educational
environment.” A former Florida State student, the woman had accused
Winston of raping her at his apartment in December 2012, an
encounter Winston has said was consensual.
Winston was not arrested or charged in the case, and
in December he was cleared of violating the university’s student
code of conduct after a two-day hearing. Winston, the winner of the
2013 Heisman Trophy, has two years of eligibility remaining at
Florida State. He is projected by most draft analysts to be either
the first or second quarterback chosen — the other being this
season’s Heisman winner, Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota — and he
could be picked No. 1 or No. 2 over all...
