Report: Irvin doesn't appear on videotape
By the Associated Press (Jan. 5, 1997)
DALLAS (AP) - Dallas Cowboys receiver Michael Irvin doesn't
appear on a seized videotape that shows teammate Erik Williams
having sex with a woman who has accused him of rape, the Dallas
Morning News reported Saturday.
An unidentified police source told the newspaper in a copyright
story that Irvin does not appear on the tape, but that detectives
intend to submit voices on the tape to a sophisticated analysis.
Sources previously told The Associated Press the woman told
police Irvin videotaped at least part of the alleged incident.
Investigators have not determined from the tape whether the
encounter between Williams, a Cowboys lineman, and a 23-year-old
woman was rape or consensual sex, the source told the newspaper.
Dallas police spokesman Ed Spencer said Saturday he could not
comment on any evidence in the case.
"We've just got to protect the integrity of the investigation
and that just absolutely requires us to not discuss any of the
details," he said. "All we've been able to say in the
most general terms is that we're in the process of talking to
anyone who might have knowledge of the allegations, who might
be able to shed light on the woman's allegation."
Police have not charged or questioned Williams and Irvin in
the reported incident.
