Michael Irvin Under Investigation for Alleged Sexual Assault

NFL Hall of Famer and legendary Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Irvin was accused of sexually assaulting a 27-year-old woman in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. He is currently being investigated as he denies the allegations.

On March 21, the woman contacted police after she left a bar with Irvin and went to his hotel room. She reportedly filed a police report because she believes that he drugged and raped her.

In a statement sent to TMZ Sports Irvin’s lawyer Larry Friedman responds to the allegations.

“Michael was in Ft. Lauderdale visiting his nieces and nephews at a track meet. He was also visiting his 90-year-old aunt and attending her birthday party. He was blindsided by news of these allegations,” he says. “The allegations are completely false. In the few hours since we've learned about them we've already discovered many red flags about this young woman's background and the allegations she made against Michael. Even the complaint that she made specifically says she does not recall the events that took place. She was very drunk that night. Nothing happened and there was no assault.”

This is would not have been the first time Irving was accused of sexual assault. In 2007, he settled out of court with a woman for an unspecified amount after being accused of sexual battery at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood.
