Former Florida Gators quarterback Chris Leak has hired a the same lawyer who defended Jameis Winston had when he was accused of sexual assault at Florida State.
The attorney, Tim Jansen, announced Wednesday he's been retained by Leak, who earlier this month resigned as head football coach at Edgewater High School in Orlando, Fla., after being accused of sexually assaulting a 16-year-old student at the school.
"I have been retained by Chris Leak," Jansen said in a statement. "He adamantly denies the allegations recently released in a police report. Mr. Leak has cooperated with the investigators and we will continue to investigate what we believe are false allegations.
