FSU Settles With Rapeis' Accuser for $950,000

[SGG]

FSU agreed to pay Kinsman $950,000 – an amount that includes attorney’s fees – as well as make a five-year commitment to awareness, prevention and training programs. The lump sum is the largest settlement for Title IX claims regarding indifference to a student’s sexual assault.

But according to FSU it didn't happen

Sounds pretty low even though it says largest

Why settle if you did nothing wrong?

Cheaper than fighting it...most of the sporting world has long moved on...soon this won't ever be brought up again and everyone will forget

Hey.....nothing happened though! It was all just ESPN conspiracy to bring them down.

Folks, this is just round 1. TPD and Rapeis will pay far, far more.

She's only getting 250K of that minus what uncle sam takes. The rest goes to lawyers. Not exactly the pay day FSU fans claims she is looking for and not sure it's worth putting up with the ridicule thrown her way. I think FSU saw an out and a chance to move on and took it despite the corruption surrounding the case making it harder on her.

It never happened... so all the Jameis D*ck riders told me for years.

It isn't a suit for lost wages or income. It doesn't get taxed. I also seriously doubt the fees for that will be 700k. This is a quick and easy case. Likely you have the numbers swapped. Again, it's just the beginning.

Only $900,000 ? she got raped.

Oh man.

You don't settle a case like this unless you fear what comes out in the trial, IMO.

 

[rogdochar]

Oh man.

Of course, that's a joke. Nobody wraps their arms around their real rapist on a motorbike
ride home.

They have sovereign immunity waiver that limits their exposure to a certain amount (maybe 200k per person and 300k per incident but I was never licensed in FL and that was a 10 second glance at the statute). Additionally, there is an interplay with federal law. Litigation like this is a 3-5 year process usually. FSU settled quickly.

A mill to shut up.. Yeah sure he was innocent the whole time

Nobody wraps their arms around

You shouldn't wrap your arms around defense liars.
