LOS ANGELES (AP) — Prosecutors have declined to file a date-rape charge against Los Angeles Kings star Drew Doughty, citing insufficient evidence.
The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office issued a report Wednesday concluding there was not enough evidence to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt.
A woman who accused Doughty of raping her said she had consensual sex with him previously.
She told of drinking with him at a Hermosa Beach bar, then going to his home, where she said he assaulted her.
Doughty is among the Kings' highest paid players. The 22-year-old had two goals and four assists during the team's recent victory over the New Jersey Devils in the Stanley Cup finals.
