Jameis Winston's accuser files Federal lawsuit against Florida State, but not QB or TPD

This is a Federal claim focusing on whether Florida State complied with the Federal Title IX statutes. It also means that many aspects of the actions by the accuser and Winston are irrelevant to the outcome. The accuser accused Winston of an alleged 2012 sexual assault for which he was not charged after investigations by the Tallahassee Police and the State Attorney. Winston was also cleared of four code-of-conduct charges in a hearing chaired by the former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Florida.
