Allegheny DA won't prosecute AB due to statute

PITTSBURGH -- Pittsburgh-area law enforcement looked into the June 2017 sexual assault allegation against Antonio Brown but won't be prosecuting the All-Pro receiver due to statute of limitations.

A detective contacted Britney Taylor's lawyer after her lawsuit against Brown became public last week, a source told ESPN, but since the allegation is more than two years old, there won't be an investigation.

"Our office, along with the Allegheny County Police Department, made contact with counsel for the plaintiff in the federal lawsuit involving Antonio Brown," the Allegheny County District Attorney's Office told ESPN in a statement.
