Attorney for Jameis Winston Accuser Calls for Charges Under FSU's Code of Conduct Policy

The attorney for the woman who accused Florida State University football superstarJameis Winstonof raping her is allegedly calling for the Tallahassee university to charge Winston under the schools code of conduct policy.

Baine Kerr, a Title IX attorney representing the woman, told USA TODAY Sports he wrote a letter to FSU earlier this month stating his objections to their investigation of the rape and will be calling for Winston to be charged under the school's code of conduct policy.

"The university took the position that since he refused to respond to questions, they could not make any Title IX findings," said Kerr. "We have objected to that as impermissible reason to delay or terminate a Title IX sexual assault investigation because that would permit any charged party to thwart an investigation simply by refusing to answer questions."

Winston has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing and has said the sex was consensual.

Earlier this week, the New York Times reported several flaws in the investigation conducted by the Tallahassee Police Department.

The police did not follow the obvious leads that would have quickly identified the suspect as well as witnesses, one of whom videotaped part of the sexual encounter. After the accuser identified Mr. Winston as her assailant, the police did not even attempt to interview him for nearly two weeks and never obtained his DNA,wrote Walt Bogdanich in the article.
