Cops Tried To Cover Up Jameis Winston Sexual Assault Accusations

This is the type of thing you see in movies. College star football player gets in trouble and the entire city tries to cover it up. The sad part about it is, it happens in real life. According to sources, Tallahassee cops swept the 2012 sexual assault allegations made against Florida State QB Jameis Winston under the rug and the State Attorney’s Office didn’t even know about the investigation until this past Tuesday.

Our sources in the State Attorney’s Office say … it was highly unusual cops  wouldn’t have filled them in about the case until this week.  The sources  say cops would have typically notified them when the investigation was  completed, and Winston’s lawyer reportedly says cops told him it was completed  in February.

Now get this … TMZ Sports started calling police about the  case on Monday.  We were told someone would get back to us later that day,  but there was radio silence for 2 days … we made repeated calls Tuesday and  Wednesday and no one got back to us until late Wednesday afternoon.  

Sources in the State Attorney’s Office tell us … the timing — getting  notified about the case months after it supposedly was closed and just a day  after TMZ started calling — is suspicious.

The State Attorney has now  re-activated the case and sent it back to cops for further  investigation.

And there’s a twist — guess what would happen if Winston  was even CHARGED with felony sexual assault — under FSU’s rules … he would be  AUTOMATICALLY BENCHED … killing the team’s national championship hopes and his  Heisman Trophy chances.

Okay Florida, we really gotta do better here.
