Potential Winston bombshell

Fisher sold his morals and threw his instinct out the window to get that national title and get out of Bowden's shadow.

And at the time he hadn't seen the field yet. They had no idea whether he was actually going to be that good, and they surely had no reason to think he would win the heisman or lead the team to an undefeated national championship. This was at best a routine cover up.

And yeah, the guy is a box of rocks.

The funny thing is that I think if we got to competing for titles again, something like this will come our way too. Especially with social media and the internet.

It's hard to win titles and keep a clean program. If it's not a cheating scandal, players taking money, players breaking the law, players posting stupid ****, or ego issues with the players (out of control), when the spot light is on and people want to bring you down, you better have your guard up.

Don't know how Alabama and Auburn have skated through this for the last 5 years.

I don't remember the timeline, was it before the season started? If so thats interesting. I thought it was during the season, but that may be when it came out to the public.

Article says the rape occurred Dec 2012. That'd be between the end of the season and their bowl game the year before Winston started.

From the OP's link:
At the center of the storm is an incident at Winston’s off-campus apartment early the morning of Dec. 7, 2012.


A then-18-year-old Florida State student reported to campus and then city police that she’d gone out with friends to a popular Tallahassee night spot known as Potbelly’s, that she sneaked several drinks, and that at one point someone she did not know bought her a shot. After she consumed it, she told detectives her memories were broken but that she ended up in a cab with several people, was taken to an apartment, and then was raped in a bedroom and, later, in a bathroom.


She described the apartment complex as “looking like a hotel” that included two buildings with an open area between them. She said the attack happened in a ground-floor apartment, that the door on the bedroom where it occurred was broken, and that the room had its own private bathroom. She described the sheets on the bed as being red and gold, in a polka-dot pattern. She said there were two scooters parked outside, one red, one black.


She told police her attacker then put her on a scooter and drove her to campus, dropping her off, and that she then returned to her dorm and called a friend, who convinced her to report the incident. She said she did not know her attacker.




Five weeks later, after the spring term began at Florida State, the woman was in a class when she saw the man she believed assaulted her. She listened for a professor to call his name, wrote it down, and called a detective.


That was on Jan. 10, 2013.


The investigator had a follow-up conversation with the woman the next day, and within hours investigators knew a lot about Winston, who at the time was highly regarded recruit but, as a red-shirt freshman, had yet to appear in a game or throw a football or baseball for the Seminoles.


But an e-mail obtained by FOX Sports shows that at 12:44 p.m. on Jan. 11, 2013, Tallahassee police detective Scott Angulo, the lead investigator on the case, sent a memo to his boss detailing his discussion with the woman. He listed Winston’s name, birthday, and the fact that he was African American. He also wrote something else: “Winston is a FSU football player.”


“This is a case from 12/7,” Angulo wrote. “I had no real leads; however, the victim called me and said that she believes the suspect is in one of her classes. She was able to find out his name. … Winston does live in the area that she remembers going that night. His complex is set up like the vic described. He is of similar size.”


Angulo noted something else – he already had a phone number for Winston: Less than two weeks earlier, the manager of the apartment where he lived called police and said that the quarterback and several teammates had caused an estimated $4,000 in broken windows at the complex during a pellet- and BB-gun battle.


But a separate e-mail, which was sent from a Tallahassee police investigator to a lieutenant, shows that detectives first talked to Winston on Jan. 22 – 11 days after the woman first reported his name to officers. And that after investigators called Winston and asked him to submit for an interview the detective was contacted by someone at Florida State – the e-mail identifies the person as “the athletic directors assistant” but does not give a name.


The following day, Winston didn’t show up for his scheduled interview. Instead, Jansen, his attorney, did.

Lots of stadium steps for Mr. Winston on Sunday after the game he starts in tomorrow.
 
Reggie Bush had to give back his Heisman but this rapist was awarded the Heisman after this rape became public. ******* priorities.
 
Nothing will ever happen to them. Remember the cheating scandal they had? Was about the time the NCAA put all their resources on a Miami witch hunt.
