Cowboys’ Accuser Gets Charged With Filing a False Police Report
Nina Shahravan, 23, of Mesquite, Texas, was charged Tuesday with filing a false police report in accusing Dallas Cowboys’ guard Erik Williams with raping her while teammate Michael Irvin held a gun to her head.
Shahravan faces a possible six months in jail and a $2,000 fine if convicted.
She told police that Williams and a third man who was never identified had raped her in Williams’ home on Dec. 29. She said Irvin had videotaped portions and held a gun on her. She recanted the accusations last week.
Both players’ attorneys said they also were considering lawsuits against Shahravan, who has made no public statement since filing the complaint.
