DALLAS (AP) -An angry Michael Irvin says he was pleased but not surprised that Florida authorities won’t file sexual assault charges against him.
The former Dallas Cowboys star also said during a news conference Friday that a civil suit against him was “a horrific ordeal.” He was making his first comments since Florida authorities announced Wednesday they wouldn’t file rape charges against him.
A Florida woman filed suit Feb. 4 seeking unspecified damages for a sexual assault that she alleges occurred in July 2007 at a South Florida hotel.
Irvin was fired from his Dallas-Fort Worth ESPN radio show on Feb. 5. The network said the decision was made before the lawsuit surfaced.
Attorney Larry Friedman said Irvin may sue ESPN for wrongful termination. ESPN did not immediately return messages.
