Title: FSU Settles Lawsuit with Winston's Accuser-UPDATE-Lawyers Say FSU President Lied
Post by: Marshal Dillon on January 25, 2016, 04:01:15 PM
Read entire link. FSU still doesn't get it.



Quote
Florida State has settled a federal Title IX lawsuit with Erica Kinsman, a former student who said she was raped by quarterback Jameis Winston in 2012.

The settlement was announced by her attorneys on Monday, more than a year after she initially filed the complaint in federal court.

FSU agreed to pay Kinsman $950,000 – an amount that includes attorney’s fees – as well as make a five-year commitment to awareness, prevention and training programs. The lump sum is the largest settlement for Title IX claims regarding indifference to a student’s sexual assault.

I knew money was going to buy FSU out of this stuff. They were so happy to get rid of thew Heisman trophy winner who they have to pay his dent to that woman. What a university. I wouldn't let my dog go there. RTR!

That's when he was their starting QB, now he's gone. Plus, read the link, they are proclaiming total innocence in this matter. What a bunch of lowlife, two-faced administrators.

I don't think the settlement was for the rape per se. If I remember correctly, she sued the school for not providing a safe environment for the students, or some such thing as that.

The delay was the basis of this lawsuit, more or less. 

She still has a lawsuit pending against Winston personally (along with his counterclaim), and the Office of Civil Rights (OCR) is investigating FSU's role as well.

The news said that the woman received 250K and her lawyers got 500k?  Not sure how to interpret that.

So, is that where the other 200K went to?  250K + 500K = 750K, and the settlement was for 950K.  200 unaccounted for until now.

That's just my bad math.   :-[

They reported that she received 250K, so the lawyers got the rest.  I doubt it was a contingent claim, probably statutory fees.  Which means her lawyers were spending a lot of time on the case.  No doubt FSU also paid their own lawyers a similar amount...

Despite the out of court settlement, it appears the case didn't end amicably.

One of Kinsman's attorneys, John Clune, said the settlement numbers don't reflect the actual amounts attorneys and Kinsman will receive. Clune would not disclose exact figures due to attorney-client privilege, but said lawyers "are not taking anywhere near" the $700,000 amount. Kinsman, he added, will "definitely" get more than $250,000.

He criticized Thrasher for releasing the settlement amount in a Monday statement to the media, knowing that the final breakdown will be different.

They could have structured the settlement like that for any number of reasons, including:  (i) which fund(s) would be used to pay the settlement, (ii) state law, including when legislative approval is required, (iii) tax consequences, (iv) insurance coverage and availability, and/or (v) FSU's lawyers charged them $1.7 million and didn't want to seem like robbers.
