Florida State official says players get special treatment
Posted Nov 26, 2015
A Florida State official said in a deposition that Seminoles players receive special treatment at the school, the Associated Press reports. Melissa Ashton, who was the director of FSU’s victim advocate program until August, made the statement in summer 2014 during her deposition as part of the sexual assault lawsuit filed against former quarterback Jameis Winston, now a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
