The Erie County DA's office cites several reasons for why it couldn't move forward with a case against Kane.
Patrick Kane will not face criminal charges after a lengthy investigation into rape allegations against the Chicago Blackhawks star was found to be "rife with reasonable doubt," the Erie County District Attorney's office announced Thursday.
Kane had been under investigation since a woman reported to police in early August that she had been raped by the 26-year-old at his offseason home in New York. Authorities have since investigated the allegations, including taking evidence from Kane's home and interviewing various parties involved in the case.
