Seminoles suspend LB Nicholson, send him homeAssociated Press

HOLLYWOOD, Fla. -- Leading tackler A.J. Nicholson was suspended by Florida State and questioned by police Thursday after a 19-year-old woman accused him of sexually assaulting her.

A decision on whether to charge the linebacker will be made following the completion of an investigation expected to extend into next week, police said. Nicholson was released by police and sent home by the team, which arrived Wednesday in South Florida to play Penn State in the FedEx Orange Bowl on Tuesday.

Coach Bobby Bowden said Nicholson was suspended for violating a team rule but declined further comment.

The woman called police at 3 a.m. Thursday and said she had been assaulted by a Florida State player, later identified as Nicholson, police detective Carlos Negron said. The alleged assault occurred at the Westin Diplomat Resort and Spa, where the Seminoles are staying.

Nicholson went to the police station voluntarily and was questioned for two hours, Negron said. The woman also was interviewed by detectives and taken to a **** treatment center.

Negron declined to give further details because the case remains open.

Nicholson, a senior, has started every game the past two seasons and led the Seminoles this year with 100 tackles.

apparently AJ was just questioned by police and no charges were filed.  eye witness accounts have told a story of Consensual

Right now, it's just an investigation.

I agree that we can HOPE our players don't act like this but...

I maintain my stance that we can't judge our (or others) programs by what 18-22 year olds do!  Especially those who go from a lower level standard of living to basically celebrities in their own rights.  (go google celebrity children and see what happens)  

We should and NEED to hold our programs accountable for how they respond.

So far FSU has done all they they can.
