MIAMI — Former Dallas Cowboys star Michael Irvin is being sued by a woman claiming he sexually assaulted her more than two years ago at a Florida hotel.
The woman is identified only as ``Jane Doe'' in the lawsuit. It was filed Thursday in Broward County Circuit Court.
The woman claims Irvin and a second man assaulted her in July 2007 at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. The incident was reported a few weeks later to Seminole police, but Seminole tribe spokesman Gary Bitner said the woman later signed a waiver of prosecution.
The Broward State Attorney's office continues to investigate the claims.
Irvin's attorney says the claims are untrue and said the lawsuit amounts to an extortion attempt.
