After an investigation into sexual assault allegations made by a woman who said Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott assaulted her seven years ago, the Dallas Police Department decided not to pursue the allegations.
The woman involved did not want to pursue criminal charges against the star QB in exchange for a payout from him, he refused and countered and sued her for $1 million.
The woman filed a countersuit and criminal charges after Prescott’s initial filing.
Prescott’s lawyers praised the Dallas Police Department.
“I want to thank the Dallas Police Department and Dallas County District Attorney’s office for their thorough investigation of the allegations against Dak Prescott,” attorney Levi McCathern said. “As we knew they would, they found nothing in their extensive exploration of the facts that would support a criminal prosecution. We are confident that at the end of law enforcement’s investigation into the extortion case that they will find the accuser and her attorneys just as guilty as Dak is innocent.”
“As I have said from the beginning, Dak is a great football player and an even better human. He would never assault any woman. These false accusations were brought up seven years after the alleged events for one reason and one reason only — to line the pockets of the accuser and her attorneys. Their behavior is an affront to all the true survivors of sexual assault,” McCathern said.
The woman’s lawyer says they will continue to pursue legal action against Prescott despite police findings.
