Jameis Winston (QB Browns)

[H3ISMAN]

71. Tallahassee Police Investigator Paul Osborn called Winston on January 22, 2013, 11 days after Plaintiff’s identification of him as her rapist, to request that Winston come by for an interview.

72. Investigator Osborn then called Bonasorte and told him that Winston was suspected in a rape investigation.

73. At 5:02 p.m. on January 22, 2013, Bonasorte initiated the first of two consecutive phone calls with someone at a cellular phone number registered to a “Candice Fisher,” the wife of head football coach Jimbo Fisher. Shortly after speaking with the individual using Candice Fisher’s phone, Bonasorte called Tallahassee criminal defense attorney Timothy Jansen

77. Through, inter alia, the initial call to FSU Police and their December 7, 2012 response and investigation, FSU had actual knowledge of Plaintiff’s rape within one hour of its occurrence.

78. Senior FSU Athletics Department and officials had actual knowledge that Plaintiff reported being raped by Winston as of no later than January 22, 2013, six weeks after the rape.

79. FSU’s duties to respond to and investigate the reported rape, mitigate its impact on Plaintiff and protect her safety, and eliminate the ongoing effect of the assault were triggered upon Plaintiff’s December 7, 2012 report to FSU Police and yet again by the January 22, 2013 Tallahassee Police notification to the FSU Athletics Department.

104. State Attorney William “Willie” Meggs (“Meggs”) was notified of the Winston case on November 13, 2013, five days after FSU officials had possession of the full police reports.

TIGHT. SHIP.

Would love to see the day come when Jimbo's ship follows this one into history:

Get that shit into a federal court and outside Tallahassee, and I think FSU is in for a rude awakening. I'm guessing their lawyers won't know what to do if they don't have a jury box full of motherhokers doing the chop.

Federal Court, they filed for Orlando on the basis that FSU has a campus or something there and Tallahassee can't have a fair trial (requested jury)

 

[scarletmike]

I think Orlando was a smart choice for filing. While there are plenty of FSU supporters here, the transplants and Gator fans easily outnumber them and have little love for FSU. Given what's in that filing, I find it hard to believe they can reach any conclusion other than failing to live up to their Title IX responsibilities.

 

[scarletmike]

I'm sure this has been brought up before (in fact, I seem to remember being just as enraged after reading a similar bit, possibly when the NYT article came out), but this just...bury that entire fucking school in sanctions!

101. Chief Perry also told Jeanine Ward-Roof, the FSU Dean of Students who supervised the Title IX Coordinator, the SRR Office and the Victim Advocate Program, what was going on. Ward-Roof informed Chief Perry in an email at 1:16 p.m. on November 12, 2013 about the second student accusing Winston of sexual assault and assured Chief Perry that an SRR Code of Conduct proceeding against Winston for raping Plaintiff would not move forward.

How in the hell...burn the place to the ground and salt the fucking earth.

Replace "college-aged female" with "underaged male" and "dorm room" with "locker room shower", and this story is the exact same as one that recently transpired in B1G Country, at least from an institutional standpoint.

And yet, for the majority of sports commentators the script continues to be a discussion of his "maturity" level. As if rape was the result of a maturity issue.

I've never personally subscribed to the "all men are rapists" philosophy myself. Did I get it wrong?

 

[NFBuck]

TIGHT. SHIP.

That ship looks pretty tight to me.

TRUE

Apparently we men no longer are tempted to rape once we are mature. Or something.

This young man just has some maturity issues.

I realize it's a complaint and consequently subject to a good deal of puffery, but dag... the way that reads is not good for Free Shoes.

Regardless of whether Winston actually is guilty, the manner in which FSU handled the complaint really appears not to have complied with Title IX.

Completely agree. Again, it's just a complaint and not facts in evidence, but that's one ugly set of allegations for the school. Why are the FSU/Tallahassee cops talking to "Candice Fisher" in the first place? Much as someone above observed, it's not that much unlike a certain cult to the East. Lack. Of. Institutional. Control. (Obviously, taking it to an NCAA perspective, not the Title IX suit)
