Jameis Winston Under Investigation for Alleged Sexual Battery [UPDATE]
By Jason Lisk
According to the Tallahassee Democrat, Florida State QB Jameis Winston is being investigated in relation to a sexual battery complaint on Dec. 7, 2012. According to the Tallahassee Police Dept., the case is “open and active” and the victim is cooperating. No charges have been filed.
The TPD sent out the redacted police report in response to an inquiry for police reports involving Winston.
"The Democrat on Wednesday morning requested police reports involving Winston. Throughout the day, TPD officials said they were redacting documents in response to the request. At 4:59 p.m., Northway sent an email to a Democrat reporter containing the incident report. Minutes later the police department released the incident report, without reference to Winston, to other media."
Winston’s attorney Tim Jansen denied the allegation.
"“This case has been going on for over a year. The case was basically closed and we’re not sure why it’s opened up,” Jansen said. “We’ve been cooperating with the law enforcement agencies and we’re hoping to get a quick resolution in favor of Mr. Winston."
The police report, via Tomahawk Nation, is below. It lists a suspect who is 5’9″ to 5’11”. Winston is 6’4″.
