Source: ESPN

Attorney David Cornwell confirmed to ESPN's Joe Schad that Florida State Seminoles quarterback Jameis Winston was ruled to have not violated university conduct code.

A woman had accused Winston of sexually assaulting a former FSU student in his off-campus apartment in December 2012.

During the conduct hearing held earlier this December, Winston declined to answer questions about whether he sexually assaulted the woman, but did read a five-page statement in which he detailed his account of the events on the night of Dec. 7, 2012 and declared his innocence.
