Michael Irvin will not be charged after the Pro Football Hall of Famer was accused of sexually assaulting a woman at a Fort Lauderdale hotel in March, according to multiple reports.

The State Attorney’s Office confirmed Monday morning that it isn’t filing charges in the case, reportedly due to a lack of evidence against the former Cowboys star.

The NFL Network analyst has denied the allegations and previously said video evidence showing the two leaving a room together would prove his innocence.

To escape consequences.

That said, these guys are targets. If I was them, I would make every sexual encounter sign papers stating the encounter was consensual. Then again, they would say it was signed under duress.
