Bucs quarterback Jameis Winston has been sued by the Arizona Uber
driver who has accused him of sexual assault by groping her in March
2016.
The woman — identified only as Kate P. in the federal court
papers — filed the suit Tuesday, alleging that Winston grabbed her
crotch in the drive-through of a Mexican restaurant.
The
development comes weeks after an eight-month NFL investigation
determined that he touched the woman "in an inappropriate and sexual
manner without her consent." It also comes as Winston – who has not been
criminally charged in the incident – approaches the final game of a
three-game suspension for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy.
