TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Florida State freshman quarterback and Heisman Trophy candidate Jameis Winston is part of an ongoing investigation into a sexual assault complaint filed with the Tallahassee Police Department in December 2012.

Winston's attorney, Tim Jansen, said police contacted him in February 2013, but no charges were filed and Winston never has been interviewed by police.

"It was closed in February and it was then handed over to the state attorney today," Jansen said. "We've been cooperating with them and we've supplied them with witness affidavits. We hope this case will be resolved quickly in Mr. Winston's favor."

William Meggs, state attorney for the 2nd Judicial Circuit in Tallahassee, confirmed his office didn't receive an incident report from the Tallahassee Police Department until earlier Wednesday. Meggs, who was traveling, said he has only had the report read to him by an associate over the phone.

"We learned about the police report for the first time today," Meggs said. "I've had it read to me. I think the police department would have to tell you why I didn't learn about it for the first time until today."

Florida State released a statement Wednesday saying Winston's status with the team has not changed. The quarterback met with reporters later without addressing the reports.

"We are aware of a matter that was investigated by the Tallahassee Police Department almost a year ago," the school said in a statement. "Because the investigation has not been closed by TPD, we cannot comment further at this time. We look forward to a speedy resolution of the issue. There is no change in Jameis Winston's status."

The school was responding to multiple reports connecting Winston to an incident on Dec. 7, 2012. In response to those reports, the Tallahassee Police Department issued the following statement: "The Tallahassee Police Department has received several requests from local and national media for a case TPD received on December 7th, 2012, of an alleged sexual battery. The case was assigned to the Special Victims Unit. TPD is continuing its investigation and has consulted with the State Attorney as to the direction of the case. A copy of the original report is attached to this email, which has been redacted to meet the requirements of Florida Statute 119."

The incident report does not name Winston and describes the offender as being between 5-foot-9 and 5-11. Winston is listed by Florida State as 6-4.

Florida State is 9-0 and currently ranked second in the BCS standings. The Seminoles host Syracuse Orange on Saturday.

The timing of this being reopened and being reported is SUSPECT. I am not judging either sides but the man always is guilty until proven innocent.

Being called a "suspect" doesn't make you guilty IMO. If you're a suspect, you're a suspect.

not named. not charged, far too tall

sounds like a fishing expedition to me. Did the alleged victim say she thought the attacker looked like Winston or something? sometimes being well known can suck

you know ESPN will never let it go no matter how little they have to run with, they've morphed into your typical news outlet, always looking to sensationalize and always looking for the "gotcha" moment.

they'll be talking about it before, during and after every FSU game, every time they mention the BCS, and they'll be in the locker room asking the same questions of the same people over and over and over again. They'll get the same worthless responses and the same old rehashed talking points and then they'll call it "breaking news".

they're pretty pathetic nowadays

This stinks of Urban Meyer. The biggest fraud in college football. The man that comes in and wins with other coach's recruits, takes all of the credit and leaves when he knows the program will go downhill i.e Florida. Piece of shit ranking OSU number 2. I would like to nail his daughter though and send him a video of it.

If the PR firm of another Heisman candidate leaked this it is working. At 5 Dimes before this came out & after Marriota's poor game at Stanford the odds were Winston -675 to win, Field (all others) +375. Today at same book Winston -190 FIELD +150. If anyone took Field at +375 there's a nice scalp for you at Winston -190!
