Florida State players meet with disciplinary board

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Florida State football players Chris Casher and Ronald Darby have met with a university discipline board after being charged with violations of the school’s Code of Conduct.

The two faced charges Tuesday after they told police they witnessed sex between quarterback Jameis Winston and a woman who accused him of raping her in December 2012. Casher told police that he video-taped a portion of the incident, but deleted the footage.

Winston’s accuser testified at the hearing.

The conduct board has 10 days to make a recommendation to the Dean of Students.

Casher made a statement, apologizing to the accuser and said, “I honestly did not believe that any of us had broken the law or done anything wrong.”

Winston was not called to testify Tuesday and was never charged with a crime.
