His accuser has told investigators that the case "has caused tremendous stress for her and her family" and that she would be dropping the case and would no longer be going forward with it.
Kane has allegedly assaulted the woman on Aug. 2 in his home in Buffalo. He has not been suspended by the NHL for these allegations.
The accuser's former attorney had withdrawn from the case after citing a lack of evidence towards the case.
For Patrick Kane, this might finally mean the end of this story. The accuser withdrawing from the case might mean that she was lying or it might mean that she doesn't have the evidence she needs to actually bring Patrick Kane in.
Patrick Kane seems to me like a guy who's got a good head on his shoulders and this woman might be trying to tap into that and make some headlines out of it, and I believe it failed. On the other hand, we might not have heard the last from this story. In a couple of months, something else might pop up that might let us have to reopen this case. Either way, Patrick Kane has done nothing wrong, which is why the NHL has not suspended him.
The Blackhawks need Kane right now. They sit next to last in the competitive Central Division, and they need his offensive output and scoring to help them get back to the top. Now with this case seemingly over, Kane can now put his focus on the Blackhawks and helping them get back into the mix.
