FRISCO, Texas — A judge has dismissed a lawsuit claiming sexual assault against Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott.
Collin County Judge Angela Tucker’s ruling Wednesday comes on the heels of Dallas police announcing in May that they had found “insufficient evidence” to support a criminal case against Prescott and would not pursue charges.
The case stemmed from an alleged incident that occurred in 2017 in which a woman said Prescott assaulted her in the back of an SUV in a strip club parking lot.
In January, attorneys Bethel and Yoel Zehaie sent a letter on behalf of a woman accusing Prescott of sexual assault in February 2017. In the letter, the attorneys stated that the woman was “willing to forego pursuing criminal charges, along with disclosing this information to the public, in exchange for compensating her for the mental anguish she has suffered.” The letter went on to value the damages at $100 million.
Prescott denied the claims and filed a countersuit, which remains active, as do potential extortion charges against the woman and her attorneys in Collin County, according to Prescott’s attorney, Levi McCathern.
“Despite [the woman’s] 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,” McCathern said in a statement.
Judge Tucker set a Sept. 13 hearing to determine whether sanctions should be levied against the woman and her legal team.
