Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott will not be facing any charges in connection to an investigation into an alleged assault that took place in 2017. The police have determined that there is insufficient evidence to support the claims against Prescott, which were made earlier this year. The accusations stemmed from an incident in February 2017 where Prescott was accused of assaulting a woman in the back of a vehicle in a strip club parking lot. Attorneys representing the woman had requested $100 million from Prescott in exchange for her silence and not pursuing criminal charges. However, Prescott filed an extortion lawsuit against the woman in response.
In the lawsuit, it was stated that “sexual assault is a despicable crime that no person should ever endure.” Prescott’s attorney, Levi McCathern, expressed confidence that law enforcement’s investigation into the extortion case will find the accuser and her attorneys guilty, while proving Prescott’s innocence. McCathern emphasized that Prescott is a great football player and an even better human who would never assault any woman. He believes that the false accusations were brought forward solely to benefit the accuser and her legal representation financially, and not because of any actual wrongdoing on Prescott’s part. The woman then filed a countersuit and criminal charges, leading to the police investigation.
Despite the ongoing legal battles, Prescott has continued to maintain his innocence throughout the process. He has received support from his attorney, who commended the Dallas Police Department and Dallas County District Attorney’s office for their thorough investigation, which found no evidence to support criminal prosecution against Prescott. McCathern has been steadfast in his belief that the accusations against Prescott are false and were motivated by financial gain, rather than genuine claims of assault. The attorney for the woman, on the other hand, has stated that they will continue to pursue their counterclaim against Prescott, showing that the legal dispute is far from over.
In response to the situation, attorneys for the woman have requested to have Prescott’s lawsuit dismissed. They are continuing to seek justice for their client and are not backing down from their claims against the NFL quarterback. Despite the lack of evidence found by the police, the legal battle between Prescott and the woman accusing him of assault is ongoing. It remains to be seen how the case will unfold in the coming days and what the final outcome will be for both parties involved. The controversy surrounding Prescott’s alleged assault highlights the importance of thorough investigations and due process in cases of this nature.
