This time will be no different . Mr. Winston welcomes the opportunity to clear his name with the truth . Mr. Winston is looking forward to the upcoming [ NFL ] draft . He will not permit this ploy to distract him as he begins the journey of fulfilling his lifelong dream of being a championship quarterback in the National Football League . '' CNN does n't normally identify the alleged victims of sexual assault ; however , Kinsman revealed her name this year in a documentary about rape on college campuses . FSU hearing clears Winston . Winston led the Florida State Seminoles to a national championship for the 2013 season and won the Heisman , given to the most outstanding collegiate football player . He is expected to be a top pick in the NFL Draft , which begins April 30 . `` As for timing , we did n't want to wait until the eve of the draft or after he signed a contract , '' said Kinsman 's attorney John Clune . `` As soon as we finished the various motions briefing on the FSU case , we turned our attention to Jameis and got it filed . '' Kinsman also sued the university in January . According to police documents in the rape case , Kinsman said Winston raped her after she had been drinking with friends at a bar in Tallahassee . She said an unknown man gave her a shot glass of liquid before they left the bar . Kinsman also said she did not remember much of what happened next but that she remembered being in a ground-floor apartment , where Winston took off her clothes and had sex with her despite her objections , according to police documents . Kinsman reported the alleged assault to FSU campus police that night . A month later , in January 2013 , she told Tallahassee police that Winston was the attacker . Tallahassee 's interim police chief at the time , Tom Coe , said the woman `` broke off contact '' with investigators in February 2013 and did n't want to go forward with the case . The woman 's family said a detective warned her attorney that Tallahassee is a `` big football town '' and that life could be miserable if she pursued the case . Winston did n't play during the 2012 season but came to Florida State as one of the nation 's top quarterback recruits , according to recruiting rankings .
