Jameis Winston files counterclaim, denies he raped woman

Attorneys for No. 1 NFL pick Jameis Winston said in a federal court filing that the former Florida State University quarterback did not rape the woman who is suing him and that she is motivated by greed. Attorneys John F. Myers and David Cornwell Sr. filed a counterclaim Friday against Erica Kinsman in court in Orlando for the Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback, now with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Kinsman filed a lawsuit against Winston last month, saying Winston and others took her to an off-campus apartment and he sexually assaulted her. Her suit accused Winston of rape, assault, false imprisonment and emotional distress. – AP
