“In the warrant, the alleged victim told police she and friends had five to six shots at Potbellys and her “memory is very broken from that point forward.” She said she remembered being in a cab with a “non-descript” black man and going into an apartment where she was raped.
The alleged assault took place about a year ago. The woman didn't identify Winston, who is black, until about a month later.
The warrant said she tried to fight the man off, and at some point, another man came into the room and told him to stop. But the two went into a bathroom “where he completed the act....
Her next memory is the suspect dressing her then putting her on a black scooter,” the affidavit for the search warrant said. “She told him where she lived and he dropped her off at the intersection of Call and Stadium. The victim has no idea where the incident occurred.”

If this account is accurate, I can understand why the DA did not press charges.
A national championship for the state of Florida is much more important. /sarc
I take back my post and defer to yours.
Free Shoes University condones rape and tramples a woman student’s word to win a Heisman trophy.
Based on reports, the victim didn’t remember most of the details, including where she was. She had a high blood alcohol level and had to be “dressed.” The story changed several times and there is DNA from 2 individuals. Even the flaming libs at ESPN can’t make this stick.
What is your proof for either of those allegations?
This is almost identical to Notre Dame’s football program KILLING A WORKER and only paying a $40k OSHA fine.
NOTHING shall be allowed that will hurt “the program”.
Another college that’s little more than life support for an athletics program.
Is he getting let off on the technicality of being innocent?
Funny how these sexual assault threads break. Most of the time the woman can’t be trusted to be honest. But not this time. Go figure.
They said they would have a hard time getting a guilty verdict. They did not say he was innocent and side-stepped the question on innocence. . .implying they thought he was guilty.
I wonder if some enterprising sports journalist will ask Kobe Bryant to comment.
Have you seen or heard any mention of her race?
Fearless prediction: for having their national championship hopes kept alive, FSU has already quietly agreed to retire Chief Osceola and change the mascot and nickname..
1.0 blood alcohol is not high. That used to be the “legal” limit.
Wow my chart says >0.4 is possibly fatal.
You must have a monster constitution!
That news makes Winston a shoe-in for the Heisman, and FSU in like Flynn for the National Championship!
Yep, this wraps up the Heisman, and makes FSU more formidable than before in the BCS Title Game…..and probably adds two touchdowns to Duke’s misery tomorrow night (and Duke is one of my teams)
THIS….
The facts known indicates this: she had a MFM three some that she wanted to have, while not even drunk, and then was sorry about it afterwards….
There was no real rape IMO……pithy analogy fail….
