Here's the latest of the rape allegations against Jameis Winston:

Per a report by TMZ.com on Wednesday morning, the individual who accused Florida State redshirt sophomore quarterback Jameis Winston of rape attempted to extort 7 million dollars from the quarterback.

Here is the report from TMZ:

Jameis Winston's lawyer has fired off a letter to Florida State University ... claiming the woman who accused his client of rape demanded $7 MILLION to buy her silence.

David Cornwell, the lawyer for the Heisman Trophy winner, sent a letter to FSU, saying Winston will fully cooperate with the University's ongoing investigation into the handling of the rape charges. The alleged victim claims the University engaged in sexual discrimination by sweeping her claims under the rug to protect its prized athlete.

According to the letter -- obtained by TMZ -- the alleged victim's lawyer, Patricia Carroll, demanded $7 MIL to settle her client's claims against FSU and Winston, telling Cornwell, "If we settle, you will never hear from my client or me again -- in the press or anywhere."

Cornwell says he rejected her offer and 4 days later she went to the media.

Cornwell also says Carroll claimed her client's sexual encounter had to be rape, because she would never sleep with a "black boy."

Cornwell also added in the letter that his client, Winston, will fully cooperate in the Title IX investigation but "will not walk into a honey trap. The Investigation must be a legitimate investigation."

Perhaps it's because celebs have the money to hire the good lawyers.

Good lawyers cost ALOT, but are worth it most of the time.

This looks pretty complicated. Really the only comment I have is that I think Winston is obligated to fully cooperate with an investigation.

That must have been what he was doing in the student union last week.

Delayed adolescence. It's a huge problem in the US right now. So many kids just don't seem to grow at all between the ages of 15 and 25. I don't know how you fix that.

So the shocking new evidence is a letter from Winston's lawyer saying that the woman is a gold digging racist?

I think this is attorney posturing to make the girl that got raped look bad. There was a report that the girl had two differnt semen specimens on her or her clothes. You think it might be that one of the pervs that was taping and watching Winston rape this girl got in on the action...my guess is yes.

You are stating the rape as if it's a fact. Winston had two witnesses sign affidavits in Winston's favor. The girl in question allegedly refused the advances of the other two so-called pervs at the location. On the other hand the attorney could be trying to make the girl look bad. It's just determined she was raped yet.

Look, rape is a horrible crime. And, I don't know 100% certainty if he is innocent or not...but...can we at least agree that when you are someone in the public eye, you are going to get accused of crimes wayyy more often than you or me and the avg joe.

Back in college & high school, I followed some of these cases with acquaintances and friends I knew. Twice, someone I knew was accused of rape...and...after careful deliberation by the female after some weeks, they both finally admitted that there wasn't a rape. One of the accusers even apologized to the dude, and only cried rape because she was ashamed she allowed herself to have sex with him in such an inebriated state and never thought it would become as big of a deal as it did. At the same time, someone I never expected to be capable of rape was convicted of it, and he most certainly was guilty.

Just saying, don't think people should be hung by the public until there is a conviction or result for a specific judiciary committee.

Then there was the Duke LaCrosse case. That turned out to be a false accusation of rape which led to the disbarment of lead prosecutor Nifong.

Regardless of the actual facts, this is an interesting development.

I didn't see anything implying racism. You extrapolated that on your own.
I don't see how a white chick having sex with a black man is racist either.
His celebrity has more to do with it I think.
