 Two Colorado attorneys who have handled ground-breaking federal lawsuits in sexual assault cases involving athletes have been retained by the woman who alleged she was raped by Florida State's Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback, Jameis Winston, FOX Sports has learned.

Attorney John Clune confirmed to FOX Sports that he and one of his law partners, Baine Kerr, have agreed to work with Patricia Carroll, a Florida lawyer representing the woman who accused Winston of raping her at an off-campus apartment in December 2012.

Their work, Clune said, will be wide-ranging "to evaluate the conduct of a number of individuals and entities in this matter and assess their civil and criminal liability."




Good for her!

I have never seen a picture of her. Does she really exist or is she like the Notre Dame player's girlfriend?

Winston shouldn't be sued. There is no proof against him, right? Is there enough evidence to convince any jury he's guilty? If not, he shouldn't be liable for this (but civil suits are fricking ridiculous). Is this an OJ type thing? He's going to be really wealthy in 1 year.

The school, city, and state are being sued correct? For them screwing up the investigation so badly?

burden of proof is on her, not winston. to me it looks like she is either embarrassed she fricked a dude she just met (whether it be bc hes an athlete, or black, or neither - who knows) OR shes now looking for a payday.

either way, he will never, ever ever be convicted of a damn thing.

eta: obviously shes looking for a payday now, but i meant she was looking for one from the start.

No really similar. Winston was never tried in criminal court.
It will be interesting to see any evidence on the outside pressure on this D.A. when deciding not to pursue charges.
The standard of proof is much less in a civil case anyway. That grinding stuff may provide a reasonable doubt, but you need a lot more than reasonable doubt to be found not liable.
