Not what I said in the least, but have fun with that.

Actually, several people have contributed quite well, and I have responded in kind. In fact, I now understand why Deadspin wouldn't mention UF at this time, it makes sense. Thanks for playing though...

Do me a favor, please point me in the direction of a link to the "Title IX rules" that define consent. I'll wait. Also, any source that you have that contains the testimony of the "numerous witnesses" who stated that she was "wasted" would be appreciated. Finally, while you are at it, go ahead and look up any of the

Just like her various attorneys have made multiple claims in the media, so they must all be true as well, right? Funny thing about advocacy, you are always going to (try to) say the things that are beneficial to your client. Thing is, a majority of the media, and by extension the general public, have taken one side's

If you don't like what I have to say, there is nothing forcing you to read my posts. So I ask, either contribute in some way or you can leave. Thanks.

See, here is the underlying problem, as I see it. You claim that the victim deserves her day in court, which, at face value, I can agree with. However, what about the accused? While you feel that FSU utterly failed the victim (and in some aspects of the case, I agree with you), I feel that TPD failed BOTH the accuser

Other way around. The reason that he read a statement and only answered limited questions in the CoC hearing is because he is claiming that his accuser is making false statements, and there is no threat of perjury in such a hearing. His attorney has stated multiple times that he welcomes any legal venue to plead his

Wait, what? No, she (and her attorneys) would be forced answer questions as to why her story changed multiple times, including ranging from being either drunk or drugged (initial police reports, attorney's press conference) to admitting during the CoC hearing that she was not impaired? Or perhaps questions as to how

Thanks for your insightful and intelligent contribution to the discussion.

In a radio interview on NBC Sports the day after the CoC ruling, Winston's attorney stated that they have no intention of filing suit, unless Winston were named in a civil action. In that case, they would countersue and name the accuser's attorneys (Carroll, Clune and Kerr) as well.

Ok, that actually makes sense. If UF's investigations were concurrent with the UPD investigation, there should be some record of that, no? That's the thing with Title IX, it's application differs greatly from school to school and state to state.

Incorrect. I am primarily speaking about the second paragraph in the post.

I appreciate the snark, but I have already read every blog post on Deadspin about both cases. None of them mention anything about UF opening a Title IX investigation, so thanks for the (broken) LMGTFY link.

Please don't mistake my snark for an attempt at a non-biased tone. If I wanted to appear non-biased, I would have. And no, the fact that UPD and UF followed up immediately does not, per the main article, absolve UF of commencing their own investigation.

Pretty sure Florida's investigation concluded when the accuser withdrew her complaint.

Alleging that she is trying to avoid tough questions is quite absurd, as anyone familiar with this case can ascertain based on the many ways in which FSU and Winston have gone to great lengths to avoid having any sort of investigation into her claims.

Not named as a defendant. I am not surprised at all that he was named mulitple times, since that's ok to do to alleged defendants, even if no charges were brought, twice.

Interesting that she did not name Winston in the suit. My guess is that would open her up to a countersuit and much tougher questioning on what actually happened. This way she just has to show that FSU did not follow their policies, which it admittedly appears that they did not.

I find it interesting that literally every other story about Winston and the sexual assault charges carried with it a headline and large photo, but the news that he will not face any charges stemming from the CoC hearing only warrants a stub. Nice transparency.
