Erik Williams May Sue His Accuser

Erik Williams may sue the former topless dancer who lied when she accused him of raping her while Dallas Cowboy teammate Michael Irvin held a gun to her head, Williams’ lawyer said.

“It was clearly a set-up,� lawyer Peter Ginsberg said. “The task that remains is determining who set whom up, the motives for doing that and whether the police were innocently used or more egregiously involved.�

Nina Shahravan, 23, filed a police report Dec. 30 accusing Williams and a third man who was never identified of rape and accusing Irvin of videotaping the encounter and holding a gun to her head.

On Friday, police dropped the investigation after having “determined conclusively that the allegations are not true and that a sexual assault did not take place.� Williams and Irvin denied the allegations from the start and were never charged. Police said they were considering charges of filing a false police report against Shahravan.
