William Meggs, the state attorney for the Second Judicial Circuit in Tallahassee, Fla., will make a decision soon about whether or not to pursue criminal charges against Jameis Winston for his alleged involvement in a sexual assault claim, ESPN reported.

The incident occurred in Oct., the victim filed a police report in Dec. and the Tallahassee Police Department (TPD) turned the case over to Meggs' office Wednesday. Winston's name was never implicated by police, but TMZ reported this week the Florida State Seminoles' quarterback was in fact the suspect.

Meggs said his office has been conducting interviews with witnesses and could make his decision within the next two weeks.

"We are making interesting progress," Meggs said. "I think we can get to a point where we can make a decision by next week or the week after."

Winston and the Seminoles play Syracuse Saturday and then have two games remaining in their season. If he is arrested and charged with a felony, he would be ineligible to play in any remaining games and would also not be able to receive any awards, like the Heisman Trophy is so far favored to win.

"We're interviewing a lot of people," Meggs said. "It's become my responsibility, and I'm going to do everything I think I'm supposed to do to do the right thing."

Winston's attorney, Tim Jansen, said police have not interviewed Winston, although TMZ cites its own law enforcement sources that say they have spoken to him. There are also discrepancies in the police report and most of its information has been redacted to protect people's identities.

Jansen also said his client is currently being investigated for "his potential involvement" and not as the primary suspect, which could explain why police may or may not have interviewed him. Jansen also told multiple news outlets witness testimonies will support that his client is not the assailant.

The alleged victim reportedly identified Winston as her attacker a month after reporting it to FSU campus police. The school's police department referred the case to the TPD because the incident took place at an off-campus apartment. It is still unclear why police turned the case over to the state attorney after 11 months. Also unclear is whether or not police have interviewed Winston.
