Fla. woman claims in lawsuit that former Cowboys star Michael Irvin sexually assaulted her

Woman’s lawsuit claims Michael Irvin assaulted her

MIAMI — Former Dallas Cowboys star Michael Irvin is being sued by a woman claiming he sexually assaulted her more than two years ago at a Florida hotel.

The woman is identified only as “Jane Doe” in the lawsuit. It was filed Thursday in Broward County Circuit Court.

The woman claims Irvin and a second man assaulted her in July 2007 at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. The incident was reported a few weeks later to Seminole police, but Seminole tribe spokesman Gary Bitner said the woman later signed a waiver of prosecution.

The Broward State Attorney’s office continues to investigate the claims.

Irvin’s attorney says the claims are untrue and said the lawsuit amounts to an extortion attempt.
