Kinsman, faced with increasing threats and harassment from others, dropped out of FSU, while Winston led his team to win the National Championships and won the Heisman trophy.

A rape exam was done, and while she gave officers numerous leads with which they might find the suspect (she didn’t even know Winston’s name at the time), nothing was done to follow up.
