UPDATE: Texas Judge Dismisses Sexual Assault Lawsuit Against Dak Prescott

On Wednesday, a district court judge in Collin County, Texas, made the decision to dismiss a sexual assault lawsuit against Dak Prescott, the quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys.

The lawsuit claimed that Prescott had sexually assaulted a woman back in 2017. In response, Prescott filed a civil lawsuit in March alleging that the woman and her legal team were trying to extort $100 million from him through false accusations of sexual assault. Prescott’s lawsuit sought financial compensation exceeding $1 million.

On Wednesday, Judge Angela Tucker set a hearing for Sept. 13 to determine if sanctions should be levied against Prescott’s accuser.

“Despite (the accuser) and her legal team’s relentless efforts to extort money and damage Dak’s reputation, justice has consistently prevailed and will continue to do so,” Prescott’s attorney Levi McCathern said in a statement. “The original lies by (the accuser), her team, and their recent failed attempt to sue him civilly are all just a continuation of their extortion plot against Dak. These ploys distract from the trauma of legitimate sexual assault survivors and undermine the progress that our society has made in supporting them. We are proud that Dak stands up against this injustice and thankful Judge Tucker agrees.”

In May, the Dallas Police Department announced that they would not be moving forward with criminal charges related to the woman’s sexual assault accusation against Dak Prescott. Following an investigation, detectives concluded that there was not enough evidence to support the claim of an offense being committed, leading to the closure of the case.

Attorney Yoel Zehaie, representing the woman, issued a statement in May: “Unfortunately, it takes a while for victims to come out and that makes it very difficult to prosecute these cases.”
