Florida State University has reached a $950,000 settlement with Erica Kinsman, the former student who accused quarterback Jameis Winston of sexual assault in 2012.

Kinsman, who filed the lawsuit under the name “Jane Doe,” publicly identified herself in a 2015 documentary.

In her Title IX lawsuit, Kinsman asserted that FSU violated federal law by refusing to investigate and by covering up her allegations of a sexual assault on Dec. 7, 2012, as well as a second woman’s report of sexual misconduct, by fellow student Jameis Winston. Kinsman claimed the FSU’s actions were carried out so Winston could play football for more than two years afterwards.
