Former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Irvin has settled a civil lawsuit that accused him of sexual battery against a woman.

"The parties finally came to their senses," attorney David P. Lister said."The settlement was just reached last night."
The woman filed a lawsuit Feb. 4 in Broward County Florida for unspecified damages for a sexual assault that allegedly happened in 2007 at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.
No charges were filed and the woman signed a waiver of prosecution.
Friedman accused the woman of "civil extortion," saying her story is untrue.

Irvin is an NFL Network analyst. He worked previously for ESPN.
