Jameis Winston, sexual assault accuser settle federal lawsuit
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston has settled a federal lawsuit filed by a woman who accused him of sexually assaulting her in 2012 while he played at Florida State, according to the woman's attorney.
Former Florida State student Erica Kinsman accused Winston, the 2013 Heisman Trophy winner, of sexually assaulting her at his apartment in December 2012. He was never charged with a crime by police in Tallahassee, Florida, and the state attorney's office there declined to pursue a criminal case against him.
"The case has been resolved to the satisfaction of the parties," John Clune, the woman's attorney, told ESPN on Wednesday night.
Clune declined to discuss the specifics of the settlement. Winston, in his second season with the Buccaneers, will also dismiss his countersuit against Kinsman.
Kinsman's lawsuit was scheduled to go to trial in U.S. District Court in Orlando, Florida, on April 3.
