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?
But the piper still demand to be paid.
I find this at least superficially implausible. If I walked in on a rape, I'd go from "stop" . . . to 9-1-1 . . . to a baseball bat or .45 cal to the skull pretty quickly. Did the friend do anything else? Perhaps her story is true, but I'd like to see if the details sound more believable than the news summary.
The accuser’s friend (that called the police) says the victim remembers the accused’s roommate walking in and telling him to stop.
At least that’s how I understand the murky writing. That means there is a 3rd person with knowledge of what happened.
Jameis?
The writing is terrible, and I couldn’t tell much from what they did mention, but I’d like to know what the third party claims to have seen and done before giving the rape claim any credibility. Either this report is so heavily edited that there is nothing convincing left, or there was never anything there, and I can’t tell which without better information.
Wasn't that Monday? FSU over Auburn?
Didn’t the judge drop the case so that he could get the Heisman?
the tale of our times.....getting justice in civil court....
It was a team mate, who supposedly also recorded some of it on his phone. The phone is now missing... or at least no longer in the team mates possession.
Which kinda supports the accuser’s lawyers claim that the investigation was deliberately flubbed.
It used to be LaJameisianladanianjamal, but he shortened it to fit his jersey.
Reserving judgment until judgment is decided. You never know in some of this. Sounds like a he said she said. I’ll wait and see.
There’re are stories on the internet that she was a cleat chaser.
“why couldn’t Auburn won?”
Great question...
What? Because they lost, maybe?
Looks like Erica Kinsman and her attorney lied from an earlier press conference, when the attorney stated that they will not sue Winston. That was from an earlier press conference
Wonder if Auburn won Monday night, they would not sue?
Winston did not rape this woman, I hope he fights this
LOL, Roger that.
Thanks for the much needed chuckle after a hard day at the office today. :o)
