Former NFL star Michael Irvin investigated in sexual battery case
Police in Florida are investigating sexual battery allegations made by a woman against former NFL star Michael Irvin.
Fort Lauderdale police confirmed Wednesday that the Hall of Fame receiver’s name was listed on a sexual battery incident report. The report says the alleged encounter involving Irvin took place at a Fort Lauderdale hotel on March 22.
A police spokeswoman said no other details were available, and Irvin has not been charged in the case. An attorney for Irvin did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment.
The 51-year-old Irvin starred for the University of Miami and the Dallas Cowboys. He was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2007 and has worked as an analyst on the NFL Network. In 2011, Irvin settled a woman’s lawsuit accusing him of sexual assault.
