Florida State agrees to pay Winston accuser $950,000 to settle suit

[BrAinPaiNt]

Florida State has settled a federal Title IX lawsuit with Erica Kinsman, a former student who said she was raped by quarterback Jameis Winston in 2012.

The settlement was announced on Monday, more than a year after she initially filed the complaint in federal court.

FSU agreed to pay Kinsman $950,000 – an amount that includes attorney’s fees – as well as make a five-year commitment to awareness, prevention and training programs. The lump sum is the largest settlement for Title IX claims regarding indifference to a student’s reported sexual assault.

Good grief.

Welcome to America...

The girl wins her case, gets FSU to admit to wrong doing without admitting to it, gets them to institute more classes/training and awareness over the issue, still has a civil suit yet to come and all anyone can concentrate on is the lawyers making more money than her.

Yes...welcome to America.

smh

It seems only right that Winston gets into the Pro Bowl. What a joke.

Allbright's tweet is not accurate. The $700,000 number represents the *maximum* amount the lawyers are entitled to as per the settlement agreement, but not necessarily the *actual* amount.

Kinsman's attorney has already denied that was the breakdown. I'd bet he's getting about 33%. Still too high, but certainly not as bad. He accused FSU of trying to spin the whole thing.

Fine, you got us. Can't you just take some money and go away now, jeesh.
