In a move as anticipated as the lawsuit against him, Jameis Winston filed a countersuit against Erica Kinsman, the woman who accused him of sexual assault in Dec. 2012.

According to the Tampa Bay Times, Winston is seeking $75,000 in damages for what he called "false, defamatory" accusations against him. John F. Meyers and David Cornwell filed the countersuit Friday on Winston's behalf.

"Mr. Winston brings this action against Ms. Kinsman out of necessity, not malice or ill will," the document reads. "Nonetheless, Ms. Kinsman's false statements have irreparably harmed in his professional and personal life."

Winston accused Kinsman of changing her story several times since the allegations came to light and suing him for sexual assault with the sole intent of making money.

"However, Ms. Kinsman has been successful in one major area," Winston's suit said. "She has mounted a false and vicious media campaign to vilify Mr. Winston with the objective of getting him to pay her to go away. Ms. Kinsman is motivated by the most insidious objectives - greed."

As the Times reported in April, Kinsman's lawsuit seeks $15,000 in damages and a jury trial, which Winston has never faced since the alleged assault. Kinsman also filed her lawsuit before the NFL Draft, in which the Tampa Bay Buccaneers selected Winston first overall. He signed a four-year contract worth $25.35 million and a $16.69 million signing bonus the same night.

Kinsman also reported her rape the night of the incident after being taken to the hospital, though she reportedly said at the time she did not know who her attacker was. It was not until Jan. 2013 that she told police Winston, upon seeing him in a class they had together, was the man who raped her.

At that time, Winston was a football recruit at Florida State University and had not played a minute in a meaningful game. The Tallahassee Police Department (TPD) seemingly let the case go idle for nearly a year, by which time Winston was in the midst of a National Championship and Heisman Trophy run with the Seminoles.

Neither the TPD nor the State Attorney in Tallahassee filed criminal charges against Winston and FSU never punished him either.

Kinsman also has pending litigation against FSU for allegedly violating the federal gender-equity Title IX law. Meyers and Cornwell are also seeking to have their case moved to the U.S. District Court's Northern District in Tallahassee.
