Irvin urges Florida state attorneys to decline rape charges

Michael Irvin and his lawyer Ken Padowitz repeatedly called on the Broward County State Attorney’s office Tuesday to decline charges against Irvin for an alleged sexual assault in March.

A 27-year-old woman filed a report with Fort Lauderdale police in late March alleging that Irvin, 51, drugged and raped her at a Florida hotel. Irvin, mostly through his lawyer at a news conference Tuesday held at Padowitz’ office, adamantly denied any wrongdoing, but, when pressed on Tuesday, denied that any sexual contact with the woman had occurred that night at all.

“Nothing happened, period,” Irvin said at the news conference that was live-streamed by several media outlets.
