Flawed Rape Investigation
d,
Investigation
The woman did not appear drunk, her
friends said. But after a stranger gave her a
drink, she recounted, her memory became
hazy and fragmented. Soon, she found herself
in a taxi with three unfamiliar men, all of whom
turned out to be Florida State football players.
Jameis Winston was one of them. A redshirt
freshman quarterback, 6 feet 4 inches and 235
pounds, Mr. Winston had been a prize recruit,
well-known in football circles but not yet a widely recognizable name.
Because of the young, combustible clientele,
Potbelly’s protects itself by operating more than
30 security cameras. If something untoward happens, the cameras are there to record it. They
were in position to fill in the blanks from that evening, recording how the woman came to leave
without her friends, her general behavior and the
face of the man who gave her the final drink.
Taxi records also contained a footprint for
investigators to follow: The woman recalled that
someone in the car swiped a Florida State student identification card to get a discounted fare.
After partially blacking out, the woman said,
she found herself in an apartment with a man on
top of her, sexually assaulting her. She said she
tried unsuccessfully to push him away, but he
pinned down her arms. Meanwhile, according
to her account, another man walked in and told
her assailant to stop. He did not. Instead, she
said, he carried her into the bathroom, locked
the door and continued his assault.
Afterward, the woman told investigators,
the man put her on a bed, dressed her and drove
her on a scooter to an intersection near her dormitory and dropped her off.
Upon returning to her room, she posted a
plea online for someone to call her. Two friends
did. One was Jenna Weisberg, another Florida
State student.
“I was awake and I called her and she was
hysterically crying,” Ms. Weisberg said. “ ‘I
think I just got raped,’ ” she recalled her saying. Ms. Weisberg drove immediately to the
friend’s dorm.
Ms. Weisberg said her friend was reluctant
to call the police because she did not “want anybody to be mad at her.” Eventually she relented,
and at 3:22 a.m., Ms. Weisberg called 911.
A campus police officer responded, listened
to the accuser’s account and then drove her to
the hospital for a sexual assault examination.
Because the woman believed the encounter occurred off campus, a city police officer, Clayton
Fallis, interviewed her next.
Soon, Officer Angulo, an investigator with
the special victims unit who joined the force in
2002, arrived at the hospital and took over the
case. Again the woman began to recount what
had happened, until the investigator, seeing she
was tired, told her to go home and come to Police Headquarters later in the day.
She returned, accompanied by a friend, Monique Kessler, who was with her at Potbelly’s,
and they recounted what they had seen and
heard, including the encounter with Chris, the
football player.
Officer Angulo had three solid leads to identify the suspect: the name Chris, the bar’s security cameras and the cab where a student identification card had been used.
What the investigator did next — or did
not do — would later confound prosecutors and
muddied the outcome of the case.
An Inquiry Begins, and Ends
Officer Angulo’s investigation was halting
at best. His first report, filed more than two
months after the encounter, includes no mention of trying to find Chris or looking at Potbelly’s videotapes.
Not only would Chris have been easy to
find, but the police already had an investigative file that identified Chris Casher as Mr.
Winston’s roommate. A little more than a week
before the sexual encounter, the Tallahassee
police had interviewed both men in connection
with 13 damaged windows at their off-campus
apartment complex, all caused by football players engaging in a long-running BB gun battle.
The Florida State athletic department promised
that the $4,000 in damages would be paid, and
no charges were filed.
Officer Angulo did contact the cab company,
without success. “The GPS units on the vehicles
are not precise enough to eliminate enough cabs
to focus the search,” he wrote.
He then asked the cab company to email all
drivers who had worked that night, with “the
demographics of the passengers and the pickup
location.” No one responded, and there is no indication that he attempted to interview drivers.
Officer Angulo, who had told his superiors
that he “had no real leads,” suddenly got a big

anyone.
With Mr. Winston identified, the next logical step would have been to quickly obtain his
DNA. Officer Angulo decided against it. Ms.
Carroll, the accuser’s lawyer, said the officer
told her that testing Mr. Winston’s DNA might
generate publicity. “I specifically asked and he
refused,” Ms. Carroll said.
Officer Angulo concluded his six-page report by saying: “This case is being suspended
at this time due to a lack of cooperation from the
victim. If the victim decides to press charges,
the case will be pursued.”
Two parts of that statement struck Ms.
Carroll as strange. The officer, she said, never
informed her client that he had suspended his
investigation, and her client never said she
would not cooperate. She said that while her client was indeed concerned about the prospect of
pressing her case against a star-in-waiting, “at
no time did we call him and tell him we don’t
want you to do an investigation.” Her client, she
added, simply wanted more information before
deciding what to do.
Such reluctance should not keep the police
from investigating, according to Ms. Cappleman
of the prosecutor’s office.
“It makes the most sense to me, if somebody comes in to report a violent crime, investigate it, and we’ll talk about what to do with it
after we’ve collected the evidence and have the
most thorough picture,” she said. If an accuser
later decides she does not want a trial, Ms. Cappleman added, her office might offer a suspect a
better plea deal.
Officer Angulo’s investigation apparently
stirred no concern within his department. His
superior officer signed off on his work, records show.
In the weeks that followed, not knowing the
investigation had been suspended, Ms. Carroll
called the police periodically to see if lab tests
had come back. Sometimes, her calls were returned, she said, but not always.
A Deputy’s Daughter
Early last October, a 19-year-old Florida
State student was studying on a Saturday night
while her roommates went drinking. She said
they returned drunk, and a roommate’s former
boyfriend, also a student, raped her in her room.
The student reported the encounter to the
Tallahassee police. The episode had nothing to
do with Mr. Winston, but it, too, raised questions
about how the city police deal with rape accusations. The police response was so inappropriate,
according to the father, that later on, in a complaint filed with the police, he compared it to
the Winston inquiry, which had recently drawn
criticism in the news media.
The father, a part-time deputy sheriff in
another county, said he was away on business
when he called his daughter and found her crying and confused. With prodding, she disclosed
that she had just spoken to the police about “a
situation,” but would say no more. An officer
had told her that “it might be better not to inform me,” her father said.
Alarmed, he asked his wife to call. She did,
and their daughter said she had been raped. The
mother and a family friend, also a law enforcement
officer, immediately drove more than two hours to
Tallahassee. They found the daughter with what
appeared to be choke marks on her neck.
According to the father, a Tallahassee police
officer named Christopher Pate characterized
the young woman as confused and having had
a hard time communicating. “Why was I not
given an advocate to speak with?” his daughter
said in a complaint she filed later with the police. “I was raped and was stressed and scared.”
In a report, Officer Pate said he had offered
the woman “many different avenues of help
(victim advocate, female officer etc.). She refused them all.”
Rape crisis counselors, while not speaking
specifically about this case, say traumatized victims often experience memory problems. “Victims
themselves feel like they are losing their minds
when they can’t remember, when they remember
fragments that don’t seem to connect up,” said
Meg Baldwin, executive director of the Tallahassee-based Refuge House, a haven for victims of
domestic violence and rape. “The interpretation
so often is, well, she’s lying, she’s in any event an
unreliable witness who won’t be believed.”
Officer Pate’s blunt interviewing style did
not help, the student said. “The first thing he
asked me,” she recounted, “was if I was sure
this was rape or if I just didn’t want a baby or
wanted the morning after pill.” He also made
comments, she said, “like, ‘Are you sure you
want to file a report? It will be very awkward,
especially for a female.’ ”
In his complaint to the police, the father
wrote that Officer Pate had suggested that an
investigation “would be futile, as ‘this kind of
stuff happens all the time here.’ ” The family
also said the police had focused more on the accuser than on the accused.
“From my perspective, T.P.D. demonstrated a poor initial response, poor investigative techniques and perhaps most importantly
failed to support the victim of a violent crime,”
the father said.
Unlike in the Winston case, the police did
ask prosecutors to review the evidence, but
they declined to bring charges because statements from the roommates conflicted with the
accuser’s account. After receiving the family’s
request for an internal affairs investigation, the
police found no basis for punishment.
“While no policy violation was identified,
Officer Pate was counseled on the public perception of officer actions and speech during investigations,” according to police documents.
The department declined to make the officer
available for an interview.
The woman, an A student, dropped out of
school, left the city and underwent therapy for
extreme depression, according to the family.
“Going to F.S.U. had been a longtime dream for
her,” her mother said.
The News Breaks
It was Wednesday of homecoming week
last year and Florida State, ranked No. 2 in
the nation with a 9-0 record, was preparing
to play Syracuse. Mr. Winston, described by
teammates as both playful and intense, had
already thrown 26 touchdown passes, amassing 2,661 passing yards with a completion percentage just south of 70 percent. After his first
game, an ESPN draft expert had identified
him as a legitimate No. 1 choice in the 2015
N.F.L. draft.
If Florida State was going to ascend to the
national championship game on Jan. 6, it would
do so on the arm and poise of Jameis Winston.
The Heisman voting was but a month away, and
his crowning as America’s best college football
player appeared all but certain.
Then, suddenly, that glorious vision began
to go out of focus.
On Nov. 13, the Tallahassee police, responding to a public-records request from The Tampa
Bay Times, released documents on the sexual
assault case, setting off a frenzied scramble in
the news media and prosecutor’s office to learn
what had happened.
As the news broke, and before investigators
could talk to them, Mr. Winston’s lawyer had
the two witnesses, Mr. Casher and Mr. Darby,
submit affidavits attesting to their recollection
of that now-distant night. They gave similar accounts: A blond woman who was not intoxicated willingly left the bar with the three football
players, they said, and joined Mr. Winston in his
room. Because the door was broken and would
not close, they looked in and saw the woman
giving the quarterback oral sex.
At one point, Mr. Casher said, he entered
the room, but the woman told him to leave, got
up to turn off the light and then tried to close the
door. At no time, both men said, did she appear
to be an unwilling participant. (The men did not
respond to phone messages, conveyed through
university officials, seeking comment.)
Mr. Meggs immediately directed his staff to
reinvestigate the case.

Winston was by telephone. “He says, ‘I have
baseball practice, I’ll get with you later,’ ” Mr.
Meggs said. That call allowed Mr. Winston to
hire a lawyer who told him not to talk.
“It’s insane to call a suspect on the phone,”
Mr. Meggs said. “First off, you don’t know who
you are talking to.” He said he would have gone
straight to the baseball field. “If you walked
up to Jameis Winston in the middle of baseball
practice and said, ‘Come here, son, I need to talk
to you,’ he would have said, ‘Yes, sir.’ ”
Mr. Meggs added: “He’s not in custody, you
don’t have to read him his rights. He might have
said, ‘I didn’t have sex that night.’ ”
Only after the prosecutor took over the
case did the authorities obtain Mr. Winston’s
DNA. It was a match to DNA found on the accuser’s clothing.
Belatedly, Officer Angulo and his backup were
asked to conduct a crucial interview — to question
Mr. Casher about the events of Dec. 7, 2012.
Mr. Casher made a startling admission: he
had secretly videotaped part of the sexual encounter through the partly opened bedroom
door, and deleted the video from his phone a
couple of days later. Had the police found him
quickly, they might have obtained that video.
Mr. Casher had never mentioned the video
in the affidavit he submitted with the help of Mr.
Winston’s lawyer. Even so, officers did not ask
why he had omitted that important fact, why he
had deleted the video or whether he had shared
it with anyone. And though Mr. Casher said he
had a new phone, the officers did not ask what
he did with the old one.
Neither the police nor the prosecutor’s office subpoenaed the phone records of Mr. Casher, Mr. Darby or Mr. Winston — even though
they investigated all electronic communications to and from the accuser around the time
of the sexual encounter.
The failure to seek similar electronic communications from the three football players
surprised one former assistant state attorney,
who prosecuted a Florida State football player
on a rape charge a decade ago. “Why that was
done, I don’t really know the answer to that,”
said the former prosecutor, Adam Ruiz. “To me,
that’s a no-brainer.”
Mr. Ruiz said his children, aged 7 to 21, all had
iPhones, and even for something as mundane as
rain: “You’re texting 30 people about it. I can’t
imagine there would not have been something
coming off that cellphone after the incident.”
Three weeks after it began, with evidence
lost and memories faded, the state attorney’s
investigation was over.
“I have personal concerns about what happened in that room that night,” Ms. Cappleman said, “but that’s completely separate from
whether I’m able to prove a crime occurred.”
The University’s Role
The news that Mr. Winston had been accused of rape moved through campus like an
electric charge. On social media, the discussion
quickly lost any semblance of civility, prompting
one female student to send an email expressing
her anger to Mary Coburn, vice president for
student affairs.
“All day every day I am bombarded with
messages of hatred for the alleged victim,” the
woman wrote. “I am sad and ashamed to be
part of a student body that is quick to support
a man who is accused of sexual assault, simply
because he is a good football player, and even
quicker to condemn the alleged victim of the
crime as a liar.”
Ms. Coburn replied: “I agree with you and
have been thinking about how we address the
ugliness that has been circulating.” She promised to gather a group of students in January to
discuss the problem.
The athletic department had known early
on that Mr. Winston had been accused of a serious crime. According to an internal Tallahassee
police email on Jan. 23, 2013, one officer wrote
that Officer Angulo’s backup on the case “received a call from the Athletic Directors Assistant inquiring about the case.”
This knowledge should have set off an inquiry by the university. According to federal rules,
any athletic department official who learns of
possible sexual misconduct is required to pass
it on to school administrators. Florida State declined to respond when asked if top officials,
including the university president, had been informed of the encounter.
“Why did the school not even attempt to
investigate the matter until after the football
season?” said John Clune, another lawyer for
the accuser.

cation, and the agency recently agreed to examine whether Florida State properly responds
to sexual violence complaints. The inquiry was
first reported by USA Today.
It was not just the Winston case that was
causing concern on campus. In January, the
mother of a student who said she had been
sexually battered at a fraternity the previous April contacted the campus police asking
why the university “doesn’t do more to protect
women from rape,” records show. The police
response was to inform the mother of a selfdefense class for students.
That did not satisfy the mother, who told
an officer, “The university should take a harder
stand on the men who are identified as having
committed rapes.” According to the campus police, the student had said she did not want officers to investigate the case.
Determining the extent of the problem is difficult, because so many students are reluctant to
report sexual assaults. President Obama, in announcing the creation of a task force earlier this
year to protect students from sexual assault,
cited surveys showing that one in five women
is a victim of “attempted or completed sexual
violence” while in college.
Last year, 28 Florida State students received forensic exams after suspected sexual
assaults, according to Refuge House, which
is not affiliated with the university. Seven occurred on campus and 17 off campus; in four
cases the location was not clear.
“I’d like to see a higher reporting rate so
that we can address the problem,” said Ms. Cappleman of the state attorney’s office. “A lot of
these cases go unreported, so having a higher
reporting rate will lead to a higher success rate
of prosecution and hopefully a deterring effect.”
If cases are reported, the university is obligated to investigate, regardless of what the
police do. According to the federal Education
Department’s civil rights office, “a school that
knows, or reasonably should know” about sexual harassment, including rape, “must promptly
investigate to determine what occurred and then
take appropriate steps to resolve the situation.”
Universities must also inform the federal
government of reported sexual assaults on their
property or in the immediate vicinity.
Florida State has not yet reported its 2013
sexual assault numbers, but in the three previous years it reported four, five and five. Those
numbers place Florida State in the lower half
nationwide of similar-size public universities,
according to federal data analyzed by The
Times. The number of reported rapes can be
affected by the percentage of students who
live off campus.
Ms. Baldwin, the Refuge House director,
said accusers report that the university’s internal complaint system tends to bury their
experience rather than address it responsibly.
“When I compare F.S.U. with other universities
within the last five years that have done a great
deal to address this issue, I’m not seeing that
level of energy here,” said Ms. Baldwin, a former Florida State law professor.
In its statement, the university said that,
in complying with federal rules, “The need to
investigate possible harassment must be balanced against the rights of and consent from
the complainant.”
Kitty Bennett, Alain Delaquérière and Ramsey
Merritt contributed research.
A decade before the Winston case, the inspector general found that Florida State had
violated its policy when the athletic department
failed to inform the campus police of a rape accusation against one of its standout football
players. Mr. Ruiz, the former prosecutor who
handled the case for the state attorney’s office,
recalled that the coach at the time, the revered
Bobby Bowden, attempted to convince him that
a crime had not occurred. A jury eventually acquitted the player.
“I learned quickly what football meant in
the South,” said Mr. Ruiz, who grew up in New
York State. “Clearly, it meant a lot. And with respect to this case I learned that keeping players
n
on the field was a priority.”
