Winston roommates set for hearing

— -- Two of Florida State star Jameis Winston's football teammates are scheduled for a Tuesday disciplinary hearing related to the rape accusation against Winston, Fox Sports reported.

In addition, attorney John Clune, who represents the woman who accused Winston of raping her, told Fox Sports that he expects the Heisman Trophy winner to be called as a witness in the disciplinary hearing.

Winston has never answered questions in the case.

Winston faced felony charges after being accused of sexually assaulting the woman at an off-campus apartment on Dec. 7, 2012. However, the state attorney decided this past December not to press charges against Winston due to a lack of evidence.

ESPN.com previously reported that DNA found in the woman's underwear matched Winston's. His attorney, Tim Jansen of Tallahassee, Florida, said Winston had consensual sex with the woman. But the woman's attorney, Patricia Carroll of Tampa, said Winston raped her client.

The disciplinary hearing against defensive end Chris Casher and defensive back Ronald Darby is related to their actions the morning of the Winston incident and possible sexual-misconduct and invasion-of-privacy violations of the FSU code of conduct, Fox Sports reported.

In November, Casher and Darby gave statements to an investigator for Jansen that said they were at a bar with Winston when the accuser struck up a conversation with the quarterback and got into a cab with the three men.

Once at their apartment, the teammates said, they peeked through Winston's bedroom door and saw the woman having sex with the quarterback. At one point, Casher said, he "busted into the room to embarrass Jameis" and the woman yelled at him to "get out."

In a later interview with police, Casher changed this part of his story, saying he went into the room because he hoped the woman would also have sex with him, something he said had happened in the past when he and Winston brought a woman to the apartment.

Casher left the room and was not accused of having sex with the woman. However, he told police he filmed part of the sexual encounter on his cellphone, another violation of the FSU code of conduct, according to Fox Sports.

Casher and Darby could face discipline, including expulsion, if they are found to have violated the FSU code of conduct, according to the report.

Clune told Fox Sports that the woman who accused Winston is cooperating with the university in the investigation of Casher and Darby.
