Rocky21 Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 http://sports.espn.go.com/dallas/nfl/news/story?id=4889392 "Michael Irvin has been accused of rape in a civil suit filed Thursday in Broward Circuit Court, the Miami Herald reported. The suit, filed by a woman identified as "Jane Doe," accused Irvin, the former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver and Pro Football Hall of Fame member, of raping her at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Fla., in 2007, according to the report. No criminal charges have been filed. The Broward State Attorney's Office has been investigating the case and a spokesman told the Herald he expects a conclusion next week. Irvin, currently in South Florida for the Super Bowl, currently hosts a talk show on ESPN Radio 103.3 in Dallas and works as a television analyst for the NFL Network. Irvin's lawyer, Larry Friedman, called the accusations "totally untrue," according to the Herald. Feldman, asked by the paper to describe the woman's contact with Irvin, said: "Beyond, perhaps, meeting her, there was nothing." According to the suit, the woman claims the attack happened late on July 4 or early on July 5, 2007. It claims a Irvin bought the woman alcohol and took her to his hotel room, where Irvin raped her and another man forced her to perform oral sex." Some other Michael Irvin highlights 1996: charged with misdemeanor possession of over an ounce of marijuana and felony possession of 10+ grams of cocaine 1997: accused by a 23-year-old Dallas woman of holding a gun to her head while teammate Erik Williams and a third unidentified man raped her 1998: sliced teammate Everett McIver's neck in a fight during training camp; McIver was said to have been paid off by Jerry Jones to not bring charges against Irvin 2000: charged with misdemeanor possession of marijuana 2001: charged with felony possession of cocaine 2005: arrested on an outstanding warrant for speeding in Irving, TX after being pulled over for speeding in Plano, TX.

Teller Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I personally watched him commit thousands of violations -- mostly offensive pass interference. To my knowledge though, he was never charged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky21 Posted February 5, 2010 Author Share Posted February 5, 2010 Is it me or does Irvin ALWAYS seem high?It's not just you. He does seem high and now that I bought a high def TV I think I can see the white in his nose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboDaMan Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 To be fair, I think the charges against Irvin and Williams about the rape turned out to be false, and the accuser wound up doing jail time. But that's a pretty impressive rap sheet. I change the channel every time his face disgraces my TV. The training camp stabbing incident fascinates me. Jerry Jones blatantly lied about it and paid people off to keep Irvin away from league (and legal) punishment. Then again in 2008 he did the same thing to try to quash the Pacman Jones hotel fight. He's clearly a liar who deals with the NFL in bad faith. How does Jones NOT get at least a suspension? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyDave Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Don't rush to judgment ESers, David Copperfield was falsely accused of rape but security video and the fact part time callgirl tried to accuse another person of rape, among other things proved him innocent.

d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I don't understand the mindset of a rapist. How can you trust your jingle bell in a girl's mouth when you are doing something horrible to them? Guess with another dude there it's like writing a death sentence, but still. I know some girls who'd make great kamikaze pilots. They'd die but they would take your balls with 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickalino Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 why does someone wait 2 1/2 years to pursue rape charges? Maybe because of the shock, the hurt, the guilt, and the fear that comes along with rape, causing someone to be too scared to come forward ?

Ax Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 While I certainly believe he is criminal enough, wretched enough, and dumb enough, to have done this, and worse, this does seem like a pure money grab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.A.C.O.L.B. Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Yeah, and why only in civil court? Yeah I'm always weary of people who go the civil court path rather than criminal court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboDaMan Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 why does someone wait 2 1/2 years to pursue rape charges?She didn't. She reported it almost right away. Doesn't mean it's true, but its not like she suddenly came up with a story about a two year old crime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Wait....I thought ESPN did not comment on civil cases. That's what they said about Roethlisberger. (Seriously, that is what they said. Look it up). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVUforREDSKINS Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 While I cant stand him, I doubt he did this. Agreed. He should, and probably will win this case. Some of you might remember my thread on getting accused of something that never happened. It all works out in the end. Its civil so that is different, but two years later?? ****, sounds like another gold digger to me. Counter sue!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt Rich Fla Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 why does someone wait 2 1/2 years to pursue rape charges? It about the $$$$$$$$. **** her. You shouldn't be able to wait a few years and then decide to press charges. The whole Tiger Woods thing has let all the whores think they can grab a piece of the spotlight. We'll see more and more of this. All the dumpsters will be rolling over on their guys now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
