The legal posturing continues in the ongoing lawsuit and countersuit between former FSU quarterback Jameis Winston and former FSU student Erica Kinsman.
Kinsman is suing Winston for sexual battery, assault, false imprisonment and intentional infliction of emotional distress arising out of forcible rape. That suit was initially reported on May 1, 2015—the day after Winston was drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers first overall—though it was originally served on April 16, 2015.
A week after news of the suit against Winston broke, on May 8, 2015, Winston answered Kinsman’s claims and filed a countersuit of his own alleging defamation, defamation per see and tortious interference with prospective business advantage.
