COLLIN COUNTY, Texas — Wednesday, a Collin County judge cleared Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott of all civil claims against him.
This decision comes on the heels of a months-long legal battle where a woman accused Prescott of sexual assault in 2017 and demanded $100 million to not go to Dallas Police with her case.
Judge Angela Tucker dismissed those claims and scheduled a hearing for September 13, 2024, to determine if any legal action should be taken against the accuser.
“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,” Precott's attorney, Levi G. McCathern, said in a statement. “These ploys distract from the trauma of legitimate sexual assault survivors and undermine the progress that our society has made in supporting them.”
In March, the woman filed a police report with the Dallas Police Department. In response, Prescott filed a civil lawsuit and a criminal report against the accuser, calling her claims an 'extortion plot'.
In April, the accuser's attorneys dropped the suit in Dallas County and filed a similar suit in Collin County.
In May, DPD said they would not be pursuing any criminal charges against Prescott due to a lack of evidence.
