Jameis Winston's Alleged Rape Victim Tried to Extort Him for $7M

FSU star Jameis Winston was accused of rape earlier this year, and according to TMZ, the alleged victim's lawyer offered the football player's lawyer to settle the case for $7 million. The lawyer, Patricia Carroll, told Winston's lawyer, David Cornwell, "If we settle, you will never hear from my client or me again -- in the press or anywhere."

The request was denied and four days later Carroll went to the media with the story. Cornwell added that Carroll claimed that the alleged victim would never sleep with a "black boy," despite dating an African American guy at the time of the alleged incident.

Another wrench was also thrown in the case when two semen samples from different men were found on the victim's shorts.

In response to the case, Cornwell told FSU, "Mr. Winston will cooperate with the Investigation. He looks forward to clearing his name. But Mr. Winston will not walk into a honey trap. The Investigation must be a legitimate investigation."
