Jameis is about to lose his job to Ryan Fitzpatrick and also going to lose a lot of money if he loses this lawsuit.
Here are the details.
The woman — identified only as Kate P. in the federal court papers — filed the suit Tuesday, alleging that Winston grabbed her crotch in the drive-through of a Mexican restaurant.
“She is unimpressed by his continued lack of honesty or awareness into his behavior,” Kate’s attorney, John Clune said. “Maybe a more direct financial penalty will get his attention. He needs to learn from this and have some genuine insight or pay the penalty.
“She knows that she might be just a speed bump for him in his football career, but she is not going to be a small one.”
Kate alleged that Winston “became belligerent” and swore and used racial slurs out the window during the drive. The suit said that Winston “did not appear to be very intoxicated.”
After Winston requested a burrito, Kate P. drove him to a Mexican restaurant. She googled Winston on her phone and recognized him as the passenger, according to the suit.
While they were waiting on his food, Winston reached over without warning, “placed his fingers between her legs and pressed them firmly against” her genitals, over her yoga pants, according to the suit. Kate P. looked at him and asked, “What’s up with that?” before Winston removed his hand, the suit alleges. She then dropped him off at the Camby hotel.
She texted her boyfriend that she “just got semi molested by the Tampa Bay Buc QB,” and that she reported the incident to Uber the next day. Winston said he didn’t recall the incident in a conversation recorded by Uber, according to the suit.
Tuesday’s suit mentions Winston’s “history of sexually hostile behavior” and that he “appears to be no closer to understanding the impact of his conduct.” It alleges that Kate’s damages include “emotional distress as well as future therapy expenses” and that she is due “exemplary or punitive damages to punish and deter such conduct.”
We will have to see if Jameis fights it or if he settles. He was suspended by the NFL for 3 games because of the incident.
