Florida State has settled a federal Title IX lawsuit with the former student who alleged that former quarterback Jameis Winston sexually assaulted her in December 2012.
The school will pay $950,000, which attorneys for accuser Erica Kinsman say is the largest payment in history to a single plaintiff claiming a school's indifference to a sexual assault allegation. The settlement agreement says Kinsman will receive $250,000, and her attorneys will get $700,000, though the agreement notes that may not be the actual split of the total settlement.
Kinsman attorney John Clune said his client will receive more than $250,000, adding that FSU is using that breakdown to justify its payment.
