FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Prosecutors say there’s insufficient evidence to file sexual assault charges against Michael Irvin, a former football star for the Dallas Cowboys and the University of Miami.

A 27-year-old woman accused Irvin of drugging and sexually assaulting her at the W Hotel in Fort Lauderdale in March. The 51-year-old Irvin denied the allegations.

Broward State Attorney’s officials said in an email that there was insufficient evidence to file charges, adding that they would have had a difficult time getting a conviction.

Irvin’s lawyer Ken Padowitz called a news conference in Fort Lauderdale to discuss the case.

No further details were immediately available.
