Off-the-field incident

On November 14, 2013, it was announced that the Florida State Attorney’s Office would open an investigation into a sexual assault complaint involving Winston that was originally filed with the Tallahassee Police Department on December 7, 2012. The complaint was originally investigated by the police and classified as open/inactive in February 2013 with no charges being filed. Tallahassee police have stated that the complaint was made inactive "when the victim in the case broke off contact with TPD, and her attorney indicated she did not want to move forward at that time" and then re-examined after media requests for information started coming in early November.
