Rape charges against Kane to be dropped

Chicago Blackhawks forward Patrick Kane avoided criminal charges in a rape investigation, according to foxsports.com. These allegations put Kane in the spotlight for three months while the investigation was underway, reported the source.

According to foxsports.com, “prosecutors announced Thursday they declined to file charges against Kane because of a lack of credible evidence in a case ‘rife with reasonable doubt.’ The accuser signed an affidavit saying she did not want to press charges, prosecutors said.”

Kane may not be facing charges from prosecutors but it is uncertain whether or not the National Hockey League will take any action on this situation, the source reported..

According to the foxsports.com, “Erie Count District Attorney Frank Sedita said a three-month investigation found that physical forensic evidence ‘tend to contradict’ the accuser’s claim that she was raped on Aug. 2 at Kane’s offseason home outside Buffalo.”
