South Florida prosecutors have ruled that Michael Irvin will not face rape charges. An unnamed woman filed a lawsuit earlier this month accusing the former Cowboys star of raping her in July of 2007 at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida. She reported the incident to the Seminole tribe that month, but tribe officials say she later signed a waiver of prosecution. Because the woman waited for more than two weeks to report the incident, however, there was no physical evidence and the Broward State Attorney’s office, which was investigating the lawsuit, decided not to charge Irvin. Meanwhile, Irvin’s lawyer said yesterday that the announcement wasn’t a surprise, but was nice to hear.
