Patrick Kane of the Chicago Blackhawks was accused of rape three months ago by a woman in Hamburg, NY, where Kane makes his home in the offseason. But the investigation has seemingly gone off the rails ever since.
There was a crazy story about a rape kit evidence bag being torn open and delivered to the accuser's mother, after which the lawyer for the accuser removed himself from the case because he had doubts about how exactly that all took place.
On Friday, The Buffalo News reported that no criminal charges were likely to be filed against Kane, and today, they're reporting that the accuser no longer wants anything to do with the case.
It's obviously unclear as to whether anything illegal (or horrific) ever took place, but what we do know is that it couldn't have been pleasant for Kane or for his accuser to have been dealing with this for the past several months.
