Stems from a 2016 Uber incident. Supposedly grabbed the woman's crotch. I guess he must have admitted it to investigators or how could they hit him with a 3 game suspension?

Speculation is that it is a compromise between Jameis and the NFL. Knowing the long protracted suspension of Zeke and it being upheld at 6 games was likely a factor in the NFL coming to a compromise with Jameis. With Jameis accepting the suspension with no appeal, he does so "quietly" without it being dragged through the season.

There are some in the Tampa market calling for the Bucs to release Winston. This isn't the first time that sexual assualt has been linked to him. Along with other questionable character traits, many don't feel he should be the face of the franchise. His salary is guaranteed this season, but the 5th year option can be voided if he is released before the start of the league year next.

Of course, don't know if this incident is true or not, but he sure has a growing list of incidents where he's accused of mistreating women.

Quote:
The league began its investigation in November 2017 when a woman, who identified herself as "Kate," told BuzzFeed that Winston reached over and grabbed her crotch while waiting at a drive-thru at Los Betos Mexican Food at 2 a.m.

He was trying to get her taco while she got hers. The guy is a scumbag. The rape accusations, shoplifting, groping ... At some point, the Bucs should dump him. It is not as if his talent transcends his shitty character traits. Cut him loose and eat his $3M salary.

happen in a car full of people over 2 years ago. She never reported it but of course went to some outlet. He has been denying it from the first accusation so who knows what the story is.

All I know is that if I was a high profile celebrity with money, it would be a private vehicle and plenty of videos taken while out in public.

I could care less about him but it's got to be scary for these young guys out there.

really weird in a college cafeteria. After the rape allegations, he started to yell out some very graphic stuff about women that was captured by a smart phone. I couldn't believe it at the time. I've been under the impression he's cleaned up his act like Roethlisberger did.

It wasn't in a car full of people. That was a false claim made by Winston and Darby because the two of them plus a third passenger had shared an Uber ride earlier that day. It was later that night that Winston took an Uber ride and the woman driver filed a formal complaint with Uber soon after the ride. It was only later that she went public with the story.
Quote:
A friend of Jameis Winston's who was with him the night the Buccaneers quarterback allegedly sexually abused an Uber driver says Winston left a party scene alone in the Uber car. That statement contradicts a third friend who has said publicly that Winston was never left alone with the driver.

Winston, former Vanderbilt football player Brandon Banks and Eagles cornerback Ronald Darby were at a Scottsdale, Arizona, nightclub in March 2016 when Winston became intoxicated and "unruly," prompting his friends to send him away in an Uber, Banks' attorney, Mark Scruggs, told Outside the Lines. "What happened after that," Scruggs said, "they cannot say." Banks has never been identified publicly as being at the scene until now.

On Thursday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that the NFL was planning to suspend Winston for the first three games of the 2018 season for violating the league's personal conduct policy in relation to the allegation. The NFL had no comment Friday.

The female Uber driver -- who has only ever been identified as "Kate" -- did not go public with the allegation that Winston grabbed her crotch during the Uber ride until last fall, when she told BuzzFeed News that she wanted to tell the truth "about a powerful man who felt entitled to my body when all I wanted to do was my job." She did, however, file a formal complaint about Winston to Uber soon after the ride. She ended that complaint by stating, "He is NOT safe for other drivers," according to the BuzzFeed News story. Winston's Uber-riding privileges were revoked, but Winston did not notify the league of the complaint against him.

As for Banks, it just goes to show the kind of company Winston keeps...
Quote:
Banks is serving 15 years in prison after being found guilty of aggravated rape and aggravated sexual battery in June 2017 for his role in the gang rape of a female Vanderbilt student in June 2013.

Scruggs said any implication that Banks was the front-seat passenger is false.

"Brandon was never in the car with this victim," Scruggs told Outside the Lines. He said Banks told him that the three men had taken an Uber together earlier in the evening with a different female driver before partying together. "They were two different events, two different Uber drivers," Scruggs said.

Wow, there are SO many inaccuracies in this statement. She DID report it to Uber soon after the incident, she just did not go public with it. These are two very different pieces of information.

Also, he claimed it was a car full of people (his friends) who have now confirmed they were not in the Uber ride with him. They shared a ride with him earlier in the day.

You need to actually read the sources of information to make an informed opinion on the matter.

You think its scary for the men? Imagine how scary it is for these young girls out there subjected to this nonsense.
Apologies,

I should have kept reading the thread before responding. Others have already corrected the inaccuracies.

Why would he run for the FBI? Did someone there say they grab women by the crotch? No?....Okay, then you post makes zero sense.

The article I read in the local Fort Myers rag did not have the information about him being alone was a week or so ago.

So sue me.

It still is a she said he said. There many have been nonsense, there may not have been.

Like I said, I could care less one way or the other.

I suppose know that uber will require car cams.
It  
NJGiantFan84 : 6/26/2018 4:41 pm : link
still is he said-she said. But everything else you stated was false. These cases are often he said she said.

I had less of an issue with the fact that he was alone, because he stated he was with friends and it was quite sometime before we learned the truth. That's an understandable error.

The worse point you attempted to make was when you insinuated that she waited to report it and only reported it to the paper to gain publicity, which was 100% inaccurate and not reported by anybody. Then you doubled down about how tough guys have it now with the intent to trivialize the sexual harassment women face, all while using a false narrative to back it up.

Its important to get facts correct before making blanket statements and assumptions like you did.

Doesn't the personal conduct policy call for six games for these cases? Or is that only domestic violence situations. I was curious as to why it was only three games instead of six.

I think that's only for domestic violence, felony assault or sexual assault with force. The severity of punishment for other violations is discretionary.
I'll see if..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 6/28/2018 4:31 pm : link
I can source an article that I saw this week. Unfortunately, I was traveling and can't remember if it was online or in a physical paper in Charlotte, Milwaukee or Chicago.

It reported that several teammates have concern over Winston's mental health with the old "unnamed teammate" as saying the guy is erratic and at times does some psychopathic things.

It was a pretty damning piece.

That does sound interesting. I'll take a look also. I saw one in USA Today where Keyshawn Johnson blasted him as having something wrong mentally if he keeps finding himself being accused of sexual misconduct.

Johnson doesn't know him well, but he did coach him in a High-School all-star game his senior year and had some interactions with him during the draft.
Here's a link..

Reportedly he agreed to apologize in exchange for the 3.

Ahhh, I was wondering why he apologized and in the same statement expressed that he disagreed with the NFL's decision.
