Florida prosecutors say they will not charge a star college football player who was accused of raping a fellow student last year. The case of Jameis Winston gained national attention as he is seen as the top contender for the prestigious Heisman Trophy. The alleged victim’s family accused police of delaying and mishandling the case, which was first reported nearly a year ago. A detective reportedly told her lawyer “the victim needs to think long and hard before proceeding … because she will be raked over the coals and her life will be made miserable.” In a statement, the woman’s family said she fears the public handling of the case will discourage other victims from coming forward.
