DALLAS: A girl accusing Dak Prescott of sexual assault has filed a police report over the alleged incident in 2017 after the star quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys sued her on a $100 million extortion declare.
Dallas police mentioned Thursday there was an ongoing investigation after a report was filed earlier this week about an alleged sexual assault that occurred within the parking zone of a strip membership in early 2017.
Prescott’s attorneys filed the extortion lawsuit in Collin County, north of Dallas, on Monday. Prescott has denied the girl’s allegation.
According to the lawsuit, the girl and her attorneys wrote Prescott a letter through which they mentioned the girl wouldn’t pursue prison costs or go public together with her claims if Prescott paid her $100 million.
An legal professional representing Prescott met final week with police in Prosper, the place Prescott lives, and mentioned his consumer was a attainable sufferer of extortion, The Dallas Morning News reported.
Prescott is searching for $1 million in damages in his lawsuit towards the girl and her attorneys. Prescott’s legal professional, Levi McCathern, mentioned the quarterback has by no means had non-consensual intercourse with anybody.
“Sexual assault is a despicable crime that no person should ever endure,” the lawsuit mentioned. “Defendants’ false claims in this regard undermine the courage of actual sexual assault survivors everywhere as well as the legitimacy of the horrific traumas they have endured.”
The girl advised Dallas tv station WFAA the incident occurred at the back of an SUV after she left the bar the place she labored with Prescott.
“It’s kind of embarrassing to be honest,” the girl mentioned. “But I didn’t ask for that. I didn’t ask for this to happen to me.”
Yoel Zehaie, one of many girl’s attorneys, mentioned Prescott’s extortion lawsuit was “a smoke screen to distract from the real topic that should be discussed. And that is that a rape was committed by Dak Prescott.”
Prescott has been the starter for the Cowboys all eight of his seasons, taking up after Tony Romo’s preseason harm. He was the 2016 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year and has made three Pro Bowls.
During the 2023 season, Prescott was the reigning NFL Man of the Year for his charitable work.
