Jameis Winston countersues his accuser, Erica Kinsman

Former Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston answered the lawsuit made against him by Erica Kinsman and filed a counterclaim of his own on Friday in federal court in Orlando.

Kinsman -- in a suit filed April 16th -- is suing Winston for sexual battery, assault, false imprisonment and intentionally inflicting "emotional distress" after an encounter that occurred back in December of 2012.

Three separate investigations -- carried out by the Tallahassee Police Department, the Florida State Attorney's Office and former state supreme court justice Major Harding -- have found the evidence against Winston did not meet the burden required to arrest him, indict him or find him responsible for a violation of the FSU student code of conduct.
