from Dan Herbeck and Lou Michel of the Buffalo News,
The local woman who accused National Hockey League star Patrick Kane of rape three months ago has notified the Erie County District Attorney’s Office that she no longer wants to cooperate in the investigation, five sources with knowledge of the case told The Buffalo News on Monday.
The woman has told authorities that the high-profile investigation has caused tremendous stress for her and her family, and that she no longer wishes to participate.
The alleged victim spoke to investigators at the District Attorney’s Office at length last week, and after that, signed a document called an “affidavit declining prosecution,” which is now under consideration by District Attorney Frank A. Sedita III, one of the sources said.
“She was no longer interested in going forward,” another source told The News.
The woman first asked the DA’s staff about the status of the investigation before stating that she no longer wants to cooperate, this source said.

And that is how you kill a rape charge. Kudos for getting our celebrity athlete cleared! Whew! That was close.

This by no means something illegal didn’t go down in the Kane house, only that the woman is no longer interested in assisting the prosecution. Her life has undoubtedly been turned upside down. She no doubt feels that continuing that is not worth it.
If Kane truly feels that he has wrongly been accused he COULD go after her in civil court. He has lost millions as a result. I’d be shocked if we see that happen.
We are all left wondering what truly happened.
