Former NFL superstar Michael Irvin has been accused of sexually assaulting a woman at a Ft. Lauderdale hotel.
According to TMZ Sports, law enforcement is looking into allegations made by a 27-year old woman after she filed a police report. She claims that on March 21, she and Irvin ended up back at the W Hotel, where he was staying following a night of drinking. The alleged victim began to feel faint. The last thing she remembers is fighting Irvin off as she passed out.
When she work up around 7:30 a.m. Irvin was about to check out. So, she took an Uber home and called 911.
After telling police that she thought it was possible she was drugged and raped, she was instructed to go to a medical lab for a swab and a blood test, which she did.
The woman says she texted the Hall of Famer to find out if they had sex. He responded by telling her he would never do anything to hurt her.
Irvin's version of events is completely different. He says his accuser was with him and others at a bar. When she followed him back to his room they were only there for 15 minutes because he had a flight to catch.
He says they had no sexual contact and there was a male witness there at the time.
"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," Irvin's lawyer, Larry Friedman told TMZ Sports. "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."
