Report Finds Flawed Investigation Of Top Football Player

Published April 17, 2014 at 12:35 PM EDT

In 2012, a Florida State freshman reported that she had been raped by a stranger. Eventually, Jameis Winston, star quarterback of the FSU football team was identified as the suspect, but the local prosecutor decided there wasn’t enough evidence to bring charges.

Winston would go on to win the Heisman Trophy and lead the Seminoles to the national championship.

However, a New York Times report published yesterday found flaws in the investigation. Slate’s Mike Pesca joins Here & Now’s Robin Young to discuss the case and the implications of the new findings.
