Bucs’ Jameis Winston sued by Arizona Uber driver in alleged groping incident

Bucs quarterback Jameis Winston was sued Tuesday by the Arizona Uber driver who has accused him of sexual assault by groping her in March.

The woman — identified only as Kate P. in the federal court papers — is seeking more than $75,000 in damages after she said Winston grabbed her crotch in the drive-through of a Mexican restaurant.

Tuesday's development comes weeks after an eight-month NFL investigation determined that he touched the woman "in an inappropriate and sexual manner without her consent." It also comes as Winston — who has not been criminally charged in the incident — approaches the final game of a three-game suspension for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy.
