The NFL is investigating an allegation that Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston groped an Uber driver last year, Buzzfeed News reports.
League investigator Lisa Friel sent a letter to the accuser confirming that the NFL is examining the matter, according to the report.
The driver, a woman identified only as Kate, says she picked up Winston in Scottsdale, Arizona, in the early morning hours of March 13. As they waited in the drive-through lane at a Mexican restaurant, Winston “reached over and he just grabbed my crotch,” the woman told Buzzfeed.
The driver lodged a formal complaint with Uber, writing that “this rider reached over and put his fingers on my crotch.”
“It wasn’t my stomach or my thigh, it was my crotch and I want to be clear about that,” she added.
Uber confirmed to Buzzfeed that Winston question was banned from using the service in the future.
While a student at Florida State, Winston was accused of raping a female student. The alleged 2012 assault was not publicized until 2013, amid controversy of a cover up by the school and Tallahassee police. The woman in that case, Erica Kinsman, sued Florida State and reached a settlement that would pay her $950,000. Winston was also suspended for one half of a game in 2014 for shouting a sexual explicit phrase in public.
Winston will not play this week due to a shoulder injury.
