FSU asks court to dismiss lawsuit filed by Jameis Winston accuser

Erica Kinsman, a former Florida State student, alleged she was sexually assaulted by Winston in December 2012.  Winston, projected to be the No. 1 selection in this month’s NFL draft, has repeatedly denied the accusation, and the state attorney declined to charge Winston in the incident.

Kinsman filed her civil lawsuit Thursday in the Ninth Judicial District Circuit Court in Orlando, claiming sexual battery, assault, false imprisonment and "intentional infliction of emotional distress arising out of forcible rape," according to the Tampa Bay Times.
