Cowboys’ Dak Prescott won’t face charges for alleged assault

Seven years after a woman alleges that Dak Prescott sexually assaulted her, Dallas police announced Thursday that they will not pursue charges against the Cowboys quarterback.An investigation determined there wasn’t enough evidence against Prescott to proceed with the case.”I want to thank the Dallas Police Department and Dallas County District Attorneys’ office for their thorough investigation of the allegations against Dak Prescott,” the quarterback’s attorney, Levi McCathern, said in a statement. “As we knew they would, they found nothing in their extensive exploration of the facts that would support a criminal prosecution.”The news comes the same week that the accuser’s attorney, Yoel Zehaie, filed a motion to dismiss Prescott’s lawsuit against the accuser. Prescott is seeking $1 million in response to what his attorney’s claim was an extortion attempt on the woman’s behalf. They maintain that the woman asked for $100 million to drop the sexual assault allegation.The women’s attorney also filed a countersuit in civil court.McCathern said in a statement on Thursday, “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.
