TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — A DNA analysis completed by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement on Tuesday confirmed that DNA provided by Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston matched the sample taken from the underwear of the woman who has accused him of sexual battery.
According to the DNA analysis report, a copy of which was viewed by ESPN.com on Wednesday, the Florida state crime lab determined the chance of the DNA in the woman’s underwear being a match for someone other than Winston was one in 2.2 trillion.
Police obtained a sexual assault kit on Dec. 7, 2012, when the accuser reported the alleged incident had occurred at an off-campus apartment. Winston’s DNA was recently obtained through a buccal swab he provided to authorities investigating the case.
The DNA match alone does not prove that Winston, a leading Heisman Trophy candidate, sexually assaulted the woman, as the accuser’s family claimed in a statement released Wednesday by a Tampa, Fla.-based attorney. But it does indicate that Winston, who has yet to talk to Tallahassee police or the state attorney investigating the case, had his DNA associated with the accuser on Dec. 7, 2012, when the accuser said she was sexually assaulted.
William Meggs, the state attorney for the Second Judicial Circuit, said his office is still investigating the case, which was referred to his office by Tallahassee police only last week.
“Everybody wants to know what’s going on,” Meggs said earlier Wednesday. “So do we. We’re in the process of trying to figure out what’s going on. We haven’t determined how it’s going to turn out.”
Meggs couldn’t immediately be reached for comment on the DNA report Wednesday night.
“We have professionally tried to maintain the dignity of an investigation,” said Tim Jansen, Winston’s attorney. “However, either the Tallahassee Police Department or Mr. Meggs’ office has decided they’re going to improperly leak evidence to the media. We are saddened to learn that someone has decided to leak evidence to the public before Mr. Meggs has had time to make a decision. The improperly leaked report, if true, has zero impact on Mr. Winston’s defense, and Mr. Winston maintains his innocence. We voluntarily submitted DNA last week.”
Winston said he has also submitted affidavits from two individuals, who allege they were with Winston and the accuser on the night of the incident.
“We have turned over our affidavits and we’re confident in the witnesses who were there,” Jansen said.
When Meggs was asked Wednesday whether he believed his office could adequately investigate the case more than 11 months after the crime allegedly occurred, he said: “I’m pretty confident, as much as anybody can be. There are two kinds of evidence: testimonial and physical. We’ll have what we have at the end of the day and then we’ll evaluate what we have.”
On Wednesday night, Tallahassee interim police chief Tom Coe said the accuser stopped cooperating with police in February. A statement released earlier Wednesday by the accuser’s family through her attorney, Patricia Carroll of Tampa, said Tallahassee police warned the accuser not to pursue the case, saying Det. Scott Angulo told Carroll, “Tallahassee was a big football town and the victim needs to think long and hard before proceeding against him because she will be raked over the coals and her life will be made miserable.”
Coe contends Tallahassee police made the case inactive only after the accuser stopped communicating with them. Coe told the Tallahassee Democrat on Tuesday that the police department reviewed the case after media outlets filed open records requests for the case file. Coe said the open records requests alone couldn’t change a case from open-inactive to open-active, but that new evidence or leads would have to be found to change the investigation’s status.
“In February 2013, the case was classified as open, but inactive, when the victim in the case broke off contact with TPD, and her attorney indicated she did not want to move forward at that time,” Coe said Wednesday.
In a statement released to the Tampa Bay Times on Wednesday, the accuser’s attorney said, “It was never the intent of the victim or the family for this to become public,” but went on to provide a scathing review of the police’s handling of the case.
The woman accusing Winston initially reported the incident Dec. 7, 2012. Coe said police investigated the incident, taking witness testimony and collecting evidence.
According to Jansen, who has been representing Winston, police approached him about the case in February but soon after assured him the case was no longer being investigated. Jansen said he reported that to both Winston and Florida State.
When records requests from multiple media outlets were made to Tallahassee police last week, investigators re-examined the case and forwarded it to the state attorney’s office. Meggs is currently reviewing the case and will decide whether charges will be brought against a potential suspect.
Meggs told ESPN.com on Wednesday that he probably will not take the case before a grand jury, saying his office would ultimately decide whether it believes it has sufficient evidence to charge Winston with a crime.
“I’m not stupid,” Meggs said. “It is a young man whose life is in a fish bowl right now. I think about that. There’s also a young girl whose life has been turned upside down, and her life will never be the same, either. We look at it and say, ‘Which one of those is most important?’ Both. It is a search for the truth, and the truth is kind of elusive sometimes.”
Carroll’s statement also said police failed to do a proper investigation, did not collect blood work or DNA samples from Winston and refused to interview Winston’s roommate, who the accuser says witnessed the attack. The statement also criticized police for approaching Winston’s attorney in February with details of the case.
Coe did not specifically contradict any of the claims made in the accuser’s statement but said, “There are many statements being made daily, some of which are factual, some are not factual. We can’t go into detail on that tonight, but there will be a point in time when we can comment on those issues.”
Winston met with media Wednesday, but Florida State athletic department staff would not allow him to answer any questions relating to the investigation. His status with the team has not changed, according to FSU, and he is expected to start Saturday’s game against Idaho. Meggs said his office has interviewed several witnesses but the timetable for a decision on whether charges will be filed remains vague.
“When we can say more about this case, we certainly will,” Coe said Wednesday. “And we look forward to that day. We hope to move it forward as quickly as we can in coordination with the state attorney and bring closure to it.”

Tallahassee, FL — Tallahassee Police Departments Public Information Officer David Northway started Wednesday’s impromptu press conference by saying that Interim Police Chief Tom Coe would only be making a statement. No questions were supposed to be asked.
The public statement came hours after the alleged victim released her own statement that accused Tallahassee Police Department Detective Angulo of telling her to “think long and hard about proceeding” with charges against Jameis Winston and that “Tallahassee was a big football town.”
“Every day there’s going to be new statements, some new allegations, new perspectives on this case, and quite frankly we will not be able to comment on these every day because this is an active investigation in coordination with the state attorney’s office,” said Coe.
Last week, City Manager Anita Favors Thompson emailed the city commission saying that the investigation stopped when the alleged victim cut off contact with T.P.D. The alleged victim’s statement claims the family repeatedly tried to contact them for blood work from Winston.
“Let me just say one thing. The information that went to the city commission was correct at the time it was sent. That circumstance changed when the case became an open case and that’s all we can say about that,” said Favors Thompson.
Winston’s lawyer, Tim Jansen, said the conference was an ethical violation with acting chief Coe commenting about the ongoing investigation.
“Such comments does not make the public feel better, it should make the public feel worse that Mr. Winston’s rights are being violated because they’re doing this. I’m not sure why they had the press conference,” said Jansen.
Tallahassee city commissioners did not appear at the press conference but WCTV did speak to two of them beforehand about the alleged victim’s statement.
“We’ve got attorney’s from both sides that have made statements. What’s important to me is the input that we’ll get from our police chief about what the process was with the timeline. That’s what I’ll be asking for,” said commissioner Scott Maddox.
Commissioner Gil Ziffer said he was concerned about what was said in the alleged victim’s statement.
“Well anytime our police department is mentioned as potentially as having some wrong doing it concerns me but, once again, until there’s some kind of resolution, an inquiry, a statement of fact, it’s difficult to make that judgement,” said Ziffer.

Tallahassee, FL – There is a new scathing statement from the family of the woman who claims she was sexually assaulted by FSU quarterback Jameis Winston. A family spokesperson says the young woman never wanted this to become public and blasted the Tallahassee Police Department for the way it handled the investigation.
Jameis Winston faced the cameras for his weekly press conference and FSU staff deflected the only question about “off the field distractions.”
“He’s already answered that question on numerous occasions. Next question.”
While sports writers were asking about the upcoming match-up with Idaho… The family of a young woman who claims Winston sexually assaulted her in December 2012 spoke out for the first time.
“It was never the intent of the victim or the family for this to become public,” a written statement from her lawyer said. “The victim was trying to move on with her life which has now been turned upside down again. We have not been the source of any information prior to this release.”
The angry statement called the Tallahassee Police Department’s handling of the investigation “questionable”. It says soon after she identified Jameis Winston as the perpetrator,
The statement alleges that TPD Detective Angulo told the young woman’s attorney that “Tallahassee was a big football town and the victim needs to think long and hard before proceeding against him because she will be raked over the coals and her life will be made miserable.”
The family says the alleged victim was shocked to hear Winston’s attorney say the case had been closed.
Tim Jansen: “Then they notified us the case was closed. In February, the case was closed.”
…Because it was still awaiting the results of blood work at the time.
The statement goes on to list a few of the family’s many unanswered questions:
“If Winston’s attorney was aware of the case in February 2013, why didn’t Detective Angulo collect DNA evidence, interview Winston and conduct a proper investigation?”
“Why was Winston not listed as the suspect in the police reprot once he was identified in early January?”
and “Why didn’t Detective Angulo or his superiors inform the State Attorney of the crime before the media sought a copy of the police report 11 months after the crime?”
Winston’s attorney has repeatedly said his client has done nothing wrong and points out Winston has not been charged with a crime.
Tim Jansen had no comment on the statement released by the alleged victim’s family, except to say he is not paid the university and “his only allegiance is to Mr. Winston.”
We have asked Tallahassee Police to comment on the family’s statement– including its allegations against the detective– but so far have not received a response. The state attorney has declined comment.
Associated Press Release By GARY FINEOUT
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — The attorney representing the alleged victim in a sexual assault investigation involving Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston says her client never said she did not want to press charges.
Patricia Carroll said Wednesday it’s not true that the case about the alleged December 2012 assault was placed on hold because the victim did not want to prosecute, as a Tallahassee official told city commissioners in an email.
Carroll says the alleged victim was trying to get on with her life after it became apparent the Tallahassee Police Department was not seriously investigating the case. TPD did not respond to calls seeking comment.
One of the lingering questions surrounding the case involving Winston, a Heisman Trophy candidate, is why it took 11 months for police to hand over information to prosecutors.
CBS Sports News Copy
The family of the accuser in the Jameis Winston sexual assault investigation released a statement to the Tampa Bay Times Wednesday, accusing a Tallahassee police detective of warning the accuser that she would be “raked over the coals” if she proceeded in the case against Winston.
The statement was issued through the family’s attorney to the Times as the complainant remains anonymous. Per the statement, an attorney contacted by the family after Winston was identified by the accuser in early January was told by Detective Scott Angulo that she should “think long and hard” before pursuing the case.
“When the attorney contacted Detective Angulo immediately after Winston was identified, Detective Angulo told the attorney that Tallahassee was a big football town and the victim needs to think long and hard before proceeding against him because she will be raked over the coals and her life will be made miserable,” the family said, per the Times.
Winston has neither been arrested nor charged with any crime, and his attorney, Tim Jansen, has denied all allegations concerning the Florida State star.
E-mails obtained by the Tallahassee Democrat and published Tuesday showed that the investigation into the incident had been made “inactive” in February 2013 after the complainant elected not to press charges. The case was made active again and turned over to the State Attorney’s office last week, possibly due to new information in the case becoming available.
A state attorney overseeing the case questioned aspects of the Tallahassee Police Departments’s handling of the investigation, telling CBSSports.com’s Jeremy Fowler Nov. 15 that he was surprised his office was not informed of the case after the original complaint in Dec. 2012. He added that he had been told Jansen had been provided a complete copy of the police report, a decision he called “not good” if true.
The interaction between Tallahassee PD and Jansen also came under fire in the complainant’s family’s statement (a full version of which can be read here):
The attorney and Detective Angulo discussed suspending the investigation to give the victim some time to receive counseling. However, during that discussion, the attorney addressed the need for the family to obtain the DNA and blood work results to make a more informed decision…
Thereafter, the family, through counsel, repeatedly attempted to obtain the blood work results from both Detective Angulo and the Tallahassee Police Department’s victim advocate, Fawnisha Brown. At all times, the victim, the family, and counsel were available to Tallahassee Police Department and were under the impression that only law enforcement was aware of the crime.
If the victim had been aware that Winston’s attorney was alerted as far back as February, she would have insisted that Tallahassee Police Department immediately collect DNA and interview, at the very least, Winston’s roommate who witnessed the attack.
The victim was devastated when she learned late last week that the Tallahassee Police Department had informed Winston’s attorney as far back as February, which allowed him all of this time to create his defense and prepare his witnesses. The victim cannot fathom that the State Attorney’s office was not given the same opportunity.
No change is currently expected in Winston’s playing status as the investigation proceeds. The No. 2 Seminoles face Idaho Saturday.

Tallahassee, FL – A national firestorm started after sexual battery allegations against FSU quarterback and Heisman candidate Jameis Winston surfaced November 13th.
But Tallahassee city manager Anita Favors Thompson alerted the city commission in an email on November 12th.
The email goes into detail about the allegations, stating that the police report alleges the victim was “taken advantage of in her intoxicated state.”
It goes on to read that the Tallahassee Police Department began investigating but “stopped getting responses from the young woman and could no longer contact her.” A family representative then told TPD that the alleged victim “changed her mind” and did not want to pursue charges.
City commissioner Scott Maddox said he wants to make sure the city is taking all the right steps necessary.
“The main thing for us is process. I want to make sure the process that we’ve gone through has been true to form and that we’re treating this case like any other case,” said Maddox.
The case was left “open-inactive” and is now “open-active.” TPD spokesman Dave Northway says that for cases to be reopened, new information needs to be brought forward.
“It could be anything,” said Northway when he was reached by phone. “That could be a new tip, that could be more information that develops. Somehow down the line from maybe even a similar case that a similar suspect described.”
Maddox also asked about why the case wasn’t closed.
“I’m told that they often leave cases open in case the complainant decides to change his or her mind, and to add information to the case and that it is commonplace in other cases,” he said.

Tallahassee, FL – Tallahassee’s mayor and city commissioners learned about sexual battery accusations against FSU quarterback Jameis Winston the day before the story broke.
An email sent by City Manager Anita Favors Thompson on November 12th advised commissioners that both a Tampa Bay newspaper and TMZ had requested copies of the December 2012 police report. Favors-Thompson informed commissioners that the young woman had accused Jameis Winston of sexual assault and– quote– “indicated that she was intoxicated at a local bar and taken advantage of in her intoxicated state.”
The email says that TPD started interviewing witnesses and “putting together the details when they stopped getting responses from the young woman and could no longer contact her for additional follow up and information after many attempts to do so.”
“Shortly thereafter a representative of the young woman’s family who is an attorney contacted TPD and said the young woman had changed her mind and did not wish to prosecute.”
The city manager said the victim was notified of the press requests for the police reports and told commissioners the case would have “national media impact.”
Associated Press Release
TALLAHASSEE, FL — The attorney for Jameis Winston is speaking out tonight after something state attorney Willie Meggs said over the weekend.
The associated press spoke with Meggs on Saturday. The following is a quote regarding the ongoing investigation.
“There’s nothing like being fresh on a case and walking in and saying, ‘what happened last night,’ said Meggs. “Now they’ve been talking to lawyers, they’ve been talking to each other and getting their stories together. People have had 11 months to decide what they’re going to say.”
Winston’s attorney, Tim Jansen released the following statement.
We are deeply concerned by State Attorney William Meggs unprecedented decision to engage in press interviews and make extrajudicial statements about his ongoing investigation.
These extrajudicial public statements at this early point in his investigation raise concern in the minds of Mr. Winston and the public that Mr. Meggs may not be conducting an objective, fair, and unbiased investigation which is the right of every person involved in the criminal justice system.
We respect the immense power Mr. Meggs has to conduct his investigation and pray that he will objectively analyze the facts as he finds them, refrain from further extrajudicial public comment, and take all necessary steps to ensure that this matter comes to a quick resolution.
We are confident that if those steps are taken, this cloud will be lifted and Mr. Winston will be fully exonerated of any wrongdoing.
We reached out to Willie Meggs who would not comment on Jansen’s statement.

Tallahassee, FL – State Attorney Willie Megg said that he hadn’t heard anything about an alleged sexual battery case linked to Jameis Winston until Wednesday morning.
“Not a word,” said Meggs shortly after he arrived back in Tallahassee from Savannah, GA.
The Tallahassee Police Department incident report states that the alleged crime occurred in December of 2012.
Meggs said that a time frame like that isn’t how things are usually handled.
“Well that’s not what normally happens, and I don’t know the circumstances about why we didn’t hear. Normally when we have cases of most any kind officers bring us the probable cause to take a look at and we work with them,” said Meggs.
When asked what role, if any, Jameis Winston had in the investigation, Meggs replied that he did not know.
Meggs said that Winston will be questioned if he is named a suspect. Winston has not been named a suspect at this time. Winston’s lawyer, Tim Jansen, said that the Tallahassee Police Department wants a D.N.A. swab from Winston. Jansen said he doesn’t know why the case was reopened, but has provided two witnesses that he says will prove Winston’s innocence.
“There is no new evidence from what I understand, other than the evidence we have provided, which we believe will exonerate him,” said Jansen.
Meggs’ office will have to decide where the case goes from here.
“I think the most important thing here is dealing with the victim in the case. The victim has certain rights and it’s our responsibility to protect the rights of the victims of crime,” he said.
There is no timetable right now on how long the investigation might take. The Tallahassee Police Department is not releasing any more information.
UPDATED By Julie Montanaro November 14, 2013
Many folks are outraged by reports that FSU Quarterback Jameis Winston is being investigated in connection with an alleged sexual battery nearly a year ago.
His lawyer confirms it, but he’s the only one talking. Neither FSU Police nor Tallahassee Police will comment on why the case has surfaced now.
Reports that FSU star quarterback and potential Heisman trophy candidate Jameis Winston is being investigated in connection with an alleged sexual battery in December 2012 is the talk of campus.
Most students are asking ‘Why now?”
“I don’t understand why it would be coming up now rather than before…i think it’s just the thing about us being – doing so well – or he’s doing so well,” FSU Freshman Malina Huynh said.
FSU Police got the initial call at 3:22am on December 7, 2012. An incident report shows FSU police officers headed to Kellum Hall after a student there called to report a sexual battery.
FSU police have declined to answer any questions about the incident, They say that once they realized it happened off campus, they turned it over to the Tallahassee Police Department.
The Tallahasse Police Department released this heavily redacted incident report on Wednesday, but it has declined an on camera interview and has refused to answer any more questions about the investigation.
“We’re cooperating with the investigation,” Winston’s attorney Tim Jansen said. “He denies any wrong doing.”
Neither agency will confirm or deny that Jameis Winston is the “unknown suspect” but Wintson’s attorney will. He says TPD notified him Thursday that the investigation he thought was closed in February isn’t closed anymore.
“I got contacted by the Tallahassee Police Department, that the case is being reinvestigated, ‘it’s open and we’re investigating it,” Jansen said. And did they explain why? “Never explained why.”
Jansen questions why police have never questioned Winston before or requested a DNA sample.
“The timing is suspect, it really is,” Jansen said.
The Seminoles are ranked second in the BCS poll and Winston is being discussed as a possible Heisman candidate.
“Hopefully the voters, fans and law enforcement will take a close look and before they make a rash decision consider everything because you have a young man’s career on the line,” Jansen said.
State Attorney Willie Meggs says he didn’t find out about the case until Wednesday, but must get to the bottom of it now.
“It’s important to take into consideration our victim’s rights. We’re going to see that this is thoroughly investigated and seek a fair and just resolution to all parties involved,” Meggs said by phone Thursday.
State Attorney Willie Meggs is returning from teaching a class in Savannah. We will be interviewing him later this evening and will share his comments tonight on Eyewitness News at 11.
