Patrick Kane's accuser no longer wants to cooperate with investigation, per report

The accuser reportedly blames stress for deciding to no longer cooperate with police.

The woman who accused Patrick Kane of rape in August has "notified the Erie County District Attorney’s Office that she no longer wants to cooperate in the investigation," according to Dan Herbeck and Lou Michel of The Buffalo News. The development comes after the News reported last week that Kane was not expected to face criminal charges in the case.

The alleged victim reportedly spoke to the DA's office last week and signed an "affidavit declining prosecution" that is currently under consideration by district attorney Frank A.
