Dallas police have confirmed that Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is currently under investigation for his alleged involvement in a sexual assault incident that reportedly occurred in 2017. The investigation was initiated following a complaint filed by a woman on Thursday, accusing Prescott of assaulting her in the back of an SUV seven years ago. According to the complaint, Prescott allegedly exposed himself to the woman and then proceeded to physically force himself on her when she rejected his advances.
The investigation into Prescott comes shortly after he filed a lawsuit against the woman, claiming that she attempted to extort him for a significant sum of money. In response to the allegations, Prescott's lawyer has denied the woman's claims, emphasizing the timing of the complaint. The lawyer pointed out that the extortion investigation was launched prior to the woman reporting the alleged assault to law enforcement, raising questions about the woman's motives.
Following the filing of the complaint, police in Prosper, Texas have opened a separate investigation into Prescott's extortion claims. Both the NFL and the Dallas Cowboys have been contacted for comment on the matter, but have not yet responded.
It is important to note that the investigation is ongoing, and no formal charges have been filed against Prescott at this time. The situation remains fluid as authorities continue to gather information and assess the validity of the allegations made by both parties involved.
