Jameis Winston's Alleged Victim Will 'Absolutely' Sue the FSU Quarterback [Video]
ABC News ^ | January 8th, 2014 | Matt Gutman and Alyssa Newcomb

The attorney for Jameis Winston's alleged rape victim said she "absolutely" plans to file a civil lawsuit against the Florida State University star quarterback and the Tallahassee Police Department.

"I want heads to roll," Pat Carroll, the attorney for the woman who claims Winston raped her in December 2012, told ABC News in an exclusive interview.

Carroll said the Tallahassee Police Department was negligent in handling her client's case against the 20-year-old Heisman Trophy winner. He claims the way police handled the allegations led to a prosecutor's decision to drop the case.

"Absolutely you're going to see a civil suit," Carroll said. "You can not have law enforcement that is not held accountable."

Carroll said, “The family is proceeding, with civil action against the TPD and Jameis Winston. And possibly the university.”

The Tallahassee Police Department and representatives for Winston did not immediately return ABC News' request for comment.

In December, Tallahassee Police Chief Tom Coe said in a statement that his department "took the case seriously, processed evidence and conducted an investigation based on information available at that time."

Winston's attorney has claimed the athlete and his alleged victim had consensual sex, however in a video released Tuesday by Tallahassee police, Jenna Weisberg, the accuser's friend who called police on her behalf that night, told a different story.

"She remembers the roommate trying to get him to stop. He walked in and was like, 'Stop she doesn't want to,'" Weisberg said in the video.

“Where’s Gloria Alred?”

Totally dependent on what side is shelling out the most money.

Google Erica Kinsman and her aggressive, organized “Cleat Chaser” activities. Banging FSU football players was her sport, but she never planned on the family back home learning that she serviced Mandingo. By the way, her attorney is also her aunt.

The prosecutor is far from a yokel. He is a longtime State Attorney in Florida’s capital city, a former police detective sergeant, and has successfully prosecuted many prominent FSU football stars. Google is your friend.

What I can't seem to understand is why FReepers (correctly in my opinion) gave the Duke lacrosse players the benefit of the doubt when they were accused of rape, and yet a bunch of FReepers are ready to convict and jail Jameis Winston on exactly the same sort of dubious evidence.

I can't understand it for the life of me......one of these things is just not quite like the other, and I have no idea why.

This civil suit threat is simply a scatter-shot attempt to extract money from some deep pocket in a "settlement" without ever having to file suit.

The Discovery process will never happen since she will have to be deposed, as well as any/all of her "friends" who allegedly have information. The Cleat Chasers will not want the details of their lifestyles/habits made public.

C’mon man, can’t let the facts get in the way of a great conspiracy story. The difference with this story is it involves a Heisman winner, a National Championship, a young white woman as the victim, attorney’s, judges and police all involved in the cover up so FSU had a shot at the trophy. Now that FSU has won, It’s time to try and get some money .
