Florida State opens investigation of Jameis Winston
Florida State has opened a Title IX investigation into quarterback Jameis Winston, according to reports from USA Today and The New York Times.
Winston was allegedly involved in a sexual assault of a fellow student in 2012 and the attorney for Winston's accuser told USA Today and The Times that the school is proceeding with an investigation into the matter.
"They assured us that the Title IX process was going to move forward," attorney John Clune told USA Today. "The interview went pretty well. I think it was a positive experience, and everyone felt like the university was taking it very seriously."
Title IX requires universities to investigate complaints of sexual violence. The process is separate from any investigation undertaken by police and must be prosecuted regardless if law enforcement officials decline to press charges.
"There are some good people who want to do the right thing on one side of campus, then you have one of the most powerful athletic departments in the country on the other side of the campus with the No. 1 football team in the nation," Clune told The Times. "I think we will find out pretty quickly how that struggle will shake out."
