Florida State QB Jameis Winston set to face sexual assault conduct hearing

Florida State officials reportedly informed star quarterback Jameis Winston Friday night he may be charged with as many as four university code of conduct violations in connection with an alleged sexual assault in December 2012, according to ESPN.com. In a letter sent to Winston and his attorney, ESPN reports two of the four charges involve sexual conduct. FSU’s code of conduct policy, which has a lower burden of proof than a criminal court, states Winston has five days to contact the school’s Office of Student Rights and Responsibility to schedule an information hearing to learn about his rights. School officials would then schedule a conduct hearing that would determine whether a student is charged. – Orlando (Fla.) Sentinel
