Blackhawks' Kane won't face rape charges

Chicago Blackhawks star Patrick Kane won't face rape charges because of a lack of "credible evidence," according to Erie County officials.

"The totality of the credible evidence -- the proof -- does not sufficiently substantiate the complainant's allegation that she was raped by Patrick Kane and this so-called "case" is rife with reasonable doubt," Erie County District Attorney Frank Sedita wrote in a statement released Thursday. "Accordingly, the Office of the Erie County District Attorney will not present this matter to an Erie County Grand Jury."
