Out of 248 pages of the Jameis Winston investigation,152 were related to the victim. 11 to Winston.

Carroll was there to make serious points. She said she would ask Florida’s attorney general to begin an independent investigation of the case. Shielding her eyes from the sun at times, she said she believed that the Tallahassee Police Department’s inquiry was skewed to protect Winston, and that the state attorney’s office had followed suit. She called the police investigation shoddy and filled with errors, and charged that there were discrepancies between the accuser’s copies of her hospital records and the copies of those records provided to Carroll and reporters by the state.
“I don’t know who would’ve done this,” Carroll said, stopping just short of accusing the authorities of tampering with evidence.
She waved a thick stack of pages in the air. The evidence she received from the state comprised 248 pages, she said, but 152 of them were related to the victim, including her phone records, text messages and Twitter posts. Only 11 pages, give or take, bore Winston’s name, Carroll said.

This wasn't an investigation of the rape or Winston. This was an investigation of the victim. Her claims should have been investigated. However, Winston and those around him should have gotten equal attention.
And you wonder why women don't report rape? This was an unfortunate message that was sent to all women.
2% of rape claims are false. The people who made them should be investigated. However, people act like most claims are made up.
She has left FSU. She not only did it because of receiving threats herself but because some fool cut the tires of the cars of her sorority sisters. I'm sure that vandalism was investigated with all deliberate speed too.
Good luck to anybody reporting a sexual assault there or in many places especially if a star athlete is involved.
BTW Winston was on teevee after winning the Heisman claiming he was proven to be innocent. Not so. The prosecutor said in his opinion he didn't have enough evidence to press charges. There is a big difference.
