REPORT: Police confirm decision on Dak Prescott investigation into s-xual assault claims [a]

The Dallas Police Department has concluded its investigation into the s-xual assault allegations made against Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, according to a report by Clarence Hill of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

Initially, the police announced their probe into a woman’s claim that Prescott assaulted her in March. However, on Thursday, they declared they couldn’t uncover sufficient evidence to support the allegation.

Dallas police spokesman Kristin Lowman stated, “An investigation was conducted and the case is closed… Detectives determined there was insufficient evidence an offense was committed.”

The allegations surfaced when Prescott‘s camp made them public by filing a civil lawsuit, asserting that the woman was attempting to extort him with false accusations of s-xual assault. The demand was a staggering $100 million to refrain from reporting the allegations to the police.

In response, the woman’s attorney, Yohel Zehaie, swiftly filed a countersuit, claiming the incident occurred on February 2, 2017, in the parking lot of XTC Cabaret, a Dallas strip club, labeling it as rape.

While the initial lawsuit was dropped and refiled in Collin County, Zehaie affirmed their commitment to pursuing the case despite the police dropping it. Zehaie cited inconsistencies in Prescott‘s story revealed during the investigation.

Dak Prescott stood firm by his innocence

Prescott’s attorney, Levi McCathern, expressed confidence in the quarterback’s innocence and anticipated legal ramifications for the accuser and her attorneys once all investigations were concluded.

The legal battle has not only unfolded in courtrooms but also in the public domain, with Zehaie and McCathern engaging in verbal sparring. Zehaie accused McCathern of habitually labeling women who sue his client as extortionists, while McCathern vehemently defended Prescott, denouncing the allegations as false and criminal.

Throughout the ordeal, Prescott has remained steadfast in his commitment to donating all proceeds from his lawsuit to the Joyful Heart Foundation, an organization dedicated to combating s-xual assault, domestic violence, and child abuse.

This legal saga has unfolded against the backdrop of an already tense offseason for Prescott, with ongoing contract extension negotiations with the Cowboys looming, just a year before he becomes eligible for free agency.
