[Accuser] used the media to defame Mr. Winston. On November 20, 2013, following her apparent leak to the media earlier in the month, Ms. Carroll issued a statement identifying Mr. Winston as [Accuser]’s alleged attacker and stated: "To be clear, the victim did not consent. This was a rape." Despite the ongoing criminal investigation, Ms. Carroll had what she considered to be the most compelling evidence of rape: she reportedly stated that the sex could not have been consensual because [Accuser] would never sleep with a "black boy." Presumably, Ms. Carroll was unaware that [Accuser]’s boyfriend at the time was also African American.
Ms. Carroll’s attacks on the two criminal investigations were particularly egregious given the fact that Ms. Carroll was concealing information. Ms. Carroll concealed that [Accuser] refused to identify and was reluctant to discuss her African American boyfriend with TPD and State Attorney investigators. She also concealed that [Accuser]’s African American boyfriend refused to cooperate with investigators. Ms. Carroll concealed that law enforcement investigators had to force [Accuser] s boyfriend to provide a DNA sample. Beyond the impact on her initial outburst that [Accuser] would not have sex with a "black boy," this information may have been concealed because there is evidentiary significance to the fact that a man did not cooperate with a criminal investigation into his girlfriend’s alleged rape.
Additionally, in direct conflict with her press conference, a source familiar with these events advised the undersigned that when she learned that another "black boy" was the donor of the other semen sample, Ms. Carroll asked a female friend of [Accuser] to lie and say that the shorts [Accuser] wore on the night of the alleged rape belonged to her rather than [Accuser] This information must be investigated to determine if it is true.
