Uber driver sues Jameis Winston over alleged groping incident

TAMPA, Fla. -- The female Uber driver who accused Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston of groping her during a ride in her vehicle, which ultimately led to his three-game suspension by the NFL, has filed a lawsuit against Winston.

In the lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona, the plaintiff, identified as "Kate P.", states that despite Winston's three-game suspension, he "issued a hollow apology" in July and "has a history of sexually hostile behavior and appears to be no closer to understanding the impact of his conduct."

The lawsuit, a copy of which was provided to ESPN by the plaintiff's attorney, John Clune, alleges that while waiting in the drive-thru line of Los Betos restaurant in Scottsdale, Arizona, in March 2016, Winston was "belligerent" and "leaned toward [her] and placed his fingers between her legs and pressed them firmly against her vagina over her yoga pants."

She looked at Winston, down at his hand, and responded, "What's up with that?" before Winston withdrew his hand, the suit says. She then immediately tried calling her boyfriend before sending him a series of text messages. In one of the texts, she wrote, "I just got semi-molested by the Tampa Bay Buc QB," and that she was "pretty shaken up ..."
