Jameis Winston, sexual assault accuser reportedly reach compromise in lawsuits

In April 2015, Erica Kinsman filed a civil lawsuit against Jameis Winston alleging sexual assault in 2012. The quarterback subsequently filed a countersuit alleging defamation. Those lawsuits appear to be nearing their end.

On Wednesday, the Tampa Bay Times' Matt Baker reported that the two sides reached a "compromise," citing court documents:

Winston and the woman who accused him of sexual assault have "reached a compromise with contingencies" in the suit, according to court documents filed Wednesday. The two parties expect to file joint motions for dismissing the case within 20 days, according to the document.
