Mavericks owner Mark Cuban flatly denies an allegation of sexual assault made against him in 2011, an incident detailed in the Willamette (Ore,) Week in which he was never charged.

Prosecutors in Oregon opted not to pursue the case in which a woman said Cuban reached in her pants while they were having their picture taken in a Portland nightclub.

In an email to The Associated Press on Tuesday, Cuban wrote, "It didn't happen."

"There is no evidence to corroborate the complainant's statement and there is evidence contradicting the claim," prosecutors wrote in a report explaining why they weren't pursuing the case, adding that the woman didn't want to proceed either.

The Week's story comes on the heels of a Sports Illustrated story that described a Mavericks front-office organization at that time that was rife with sexual harassment amid a "corrosive workplace culture."
