TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA - A jury of six women took less than 30 minutes of deliberation to find Florida State noseguard Travis Johnson innocent of a rape charge on Thursday. <br>
<br>
Johnson could have faced up to 15 years in prison and a $10,000 fine if convicted on the second degree felony. <br>
<br>
The victim, also a Florida State student, said she had sex with Johnson on Feb. 6 against her will. In the probable cause affidavit, the woman said they'd previously had sex although on the third occasion, in January, she didn't want to. <br>
<br>
The complaint also said Johnson held the woman inside his apartment against her will. Johnson said the sex was consensual. <br>
<br>
He was charged in April and booked at the Leon County before being released on $10,000 bail. <br>
<br>
Johnson, 21, played in all of Florida State's games in 2002 and was expected to contend for a starting role this season. He made 50 tackles last season, including 10 for losses. <br>
<br>
Although Florida State has a policy that keeps players from competing while they face an unresolved felony, Johnson has continued to practice with the Seminoles. The 280-pound junior missed most of spring practice following shoulder surgery.
