The Hunting Ground recounts the story of Erica Kinsman.1 On December 7, 2012, Erica, then a freshman at Florida State University (FSU), reported to campus police that she had been raped by an unknown male. Erica was transported to the hospital where her injuries were photographed, and samples were taken to test for the presence of semen. One month later, Erica told the investigating officer that she recognized the man who raped her from one of her classes. His name: FSU football sensation and future Heisman Trophy winner, Jameis Winston.2
Despite the identification, it took eleven months for Jameis’ DNA to be tested and compared with the semen found on Erica’s underwear.3 In the meanwhile, the FSU police secured a copy of the Tallahassee report, which they gave to administrators in the Athletic Department, who then turned it over to Jameis’ lawyer.
