Citing insufficient evidence, Los Angeles County prosecutors declined to file sexual assault charges against L.A. Kings defenseman Drew Doughty. Now that's a plus for a player's stat!
Doughty was being investigated by police in connection with a sexual assault allegation from March 1, when a 25-year-old woman met him at a bar near the Hermosa Beach Pier. She turned down a proposition from Doughty in front of several teammates, police said. And then, oddly, they took a cab to her home, where she accused Doughty of raping her. The woman reported the incident to police the same day, but added the two had consensual sex a few months prior to the incident.
Detectives asked the woman to call the Doughty while they listened, but she refused, and they have called her “less than cooperative”. Both the district attorney’s office and police have “found credibility problems” with her accusations, and therefore have decided not to pursue the issue. I once had a restraining order against an ex, prompted by the need to have police come to my place to get her to leave three times in one night, so I can say with some confidence that some women do not leave the picture gracefully or without trying to cause trouble.
Not a bad year for the 22-year-old...Doughty signed an eight-year, $56-million deal, won the Stanley Cup, and is clear of rape charges.
