TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Florida State said Monday that it is settling a lawsuit with a former student who said she was raped by former star quarterback Jameis Winston.
FSU will pay Erica Kinsman $250,000 and her attorneys $700,000, university president John Thrasher said in a press release. He said Florida State is settling to avoid spending millions on the lawsuit.
Kinsman has said the university failed to respond to allegations that Winston sexually assaulted her. She has a separate lawsuit pending against Winston.
