DEVELOPING: Winston Not To Be Charged (UPDATED)

Various sources are saying that FSU QB Jameis Winston will not be charged in the current sexual assault investigation ongoing by Tallahassee DA and Florida State Attorney's Offices...

Details of the allegations came out today with the release of the warrants, including:

Police said the woman recalled getting into a taxi with a “non-descript” black male and entering a ground-floor apartment, at which point the man took off her clothes and raped her as she tried to fight him off.
The search-warrant request said at some point the woman told police a black man with dreadlocks came into the room and told the man to stop, but the suspect led her into a bathroom where he “completed the act.”


More as we go with the press conference coming at the top of the hour...

1400 UPDATE: State Attorney Willie Meggs says the timing of the decision being the week before the ACC title game is "not driven by any Heisman demands or football schedule."

So says he...

Meggs also says he didn't have sufficient evidence to have "a reasonable likelihood of conviction..."

Take that however you wish...

The investigation had DNA from two males allegedly involved in the case- one of those identities was unknown, one was Winston's. Meggs said identifying the unknown person was reason the investigation took as long as it did. There was no evidence of drugs in accuser's blood and an alcohol level in her system that was not above the legal limit...

Here's Shelley Smith discussing the content of the warrants...
