In 1949, he and three other black men were accused of raping a white woman in Groveland, Florida. They were given the name Groveland Four by the newspapers. Three men, including Irvin, were arrested, and one man was hunted down by a posse and killed while purportedly attempting to escape. Orlando attorney, Franklin Williams, was told by the surviving suspects that deputies had beaten them while making them stand on broken glass, hands tied to a pipe above their heads.
