Florida State Seminoles freshman quarterback Jameis Winstonย will not be charged following a sexual assault investigation that began in Dec. 2012.

Updates From Friday, Dec. 13:

Winston's accuser's attorney, Patricia Carroll, held a press conference on Friday regarding State Attorney Willie Meggs' decision not to press charges.

From Sean Rossman ofย The Tallahassee Democrat:

"

Carroll: "At no time has the victim in this case ever signed a waiver of prosecution."

Carroll says TPD detective did not issue a search warrant for Jameis Winston after learning he was a suspect, but did for her client

"

Carroll: It is common practice for "outcry witnesses" to be interviewed by detective. Says that never happened

"

Carroll: Says her client's loss of memory is "consistent with a date rape drug"

"

Carroll says she told State Attorney Willie Meggs she had "no confidence in this investigation"

"

Carroll: State and complainant's family's medical records don't match up.

โ€” Sean Rossman (@SeanRossman) December 13, 2013"
"

Carroll: "There is no reason why the state would redact the injuries sustained by the victim"

โ€” Sean Rossman (@SeanRossman) December 13, 2013"
"

Carroll: "We perceive that as a problem that warrants further investigation"

โ€” Sean Rossman (@SeanRossman) December 13, 2013"
"

Carroll: Meggs never met with my client, but his assistants did.

โ€” Sean Rossman (@SeanRossman) December 13, 2013"
"

Carroll on second set of DNA: Prior sexual history of rape victim is not admissible in court of law under Rape Shield law.
