Dallas police on Thursday confirmed they are investigating an alleged 2017 sexual assault involving Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott.

The investigation is a result of a complaint filed Wednesday by a woman who alleges Prescott assaulted her in the back of an SUV seven years ago….

In January, Prescott received a letter from attorneys Bethel and Yoel Zehaie on behalf of the woman accusing Prescott of sexually assaulting her, according to the suit.

The letter stated: "Despite the tragic events, she is 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 alleged victim's) damages are valued at the sum of $100,000,000.00."….

……Zehaie alleged in a statement Monday that Prescott had acknowledged having been with the woman the night of her alleged assault in 2017.

"We stand by the truth," the statement read, in part. "Dak and his lawyers are trying to be bullies and play hardball and victim blame. We are not afraid of the truth….

Unless the Jane Doe and/or attorneys have some damning evidence it's going to be a he said she said. And in those cases it seems the DA just drops any case from forming.

Any medical tests done, any admissions of guilt via text back then etc...

Did that letter arrive right before the Packers game? Is that why dude was so off his game? Did this gold digger kill our playoff chances?

6 game suspension coming. All the more reason to move on. Cut him. Take the hit.

I understand that due process should take place but if the SUV was fully electric and eco-compliant I would feel alot better about the whole thing......perhaps suing the SUV manufacturer will be an option if its using non sustainable energy sources

She must have slept with the entire defense too....booyah

Depends who's accused. In NY the DA can convict a ham sandwich with no evidence

Roger won't suspend him, he knows that doing so would give us cap relief.

Roger might say we are looking at a suspension just to lower his trade value tho.

Legally yes. But the NFL makes their decisions based on what they believe. Same goes for endorsements.

Unless the woman has a witness or other women come forward saying Dak assaulted them, the police can’t do anything. It’s his word vs hers.

 

[baltcowboy]

What Dak should worry about is if Goddell sends this woman to New York to meet the league investigation team.

Probably another Gold digger but we won't know till the matter has been investigated by the authorities.

Most likely. But wouldn't a gold digger ask for something like 5-10 million, not 100 million? That's the one curious part about all of this.

If that is the case, she must have been slipping Dak those type of letters before any games against good teams and or playoff games!

Ya, that's a lot of cash so she must have some evidence(Like Monica's dress) or is telling the truth to ask for that amount as logic dictates.
Then again she just might be a crackpot who knows?
The police and the DA dept. will tell the tale here and how it develops.

7 years later isn't a good look.

As many others stated, basically he said/she said unless she has a witness or some sort of medical/physical evidence.

Nah, Dak was tired and ready to go on vacation. The whole team treated the game like it was another preseason game.

Legally yes. But the NFL makes their decisions based on what they believe. Same goes for endorsements.

For sure. But unless there's some legs to this case I'm not sure it'll drag on from a criminal investigation.
And unless a major talkshow takes this and runs with it I think the NFL won't care to make a rush decision on it.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

I think it’s weird that Dak went from having no idea who she was to saying it was consensual.

Thats not a good look to change your story like that.

Fair point. Either this girl has a major piece of evidence to demand that much cash or her lawyer is hoping to show a position of strength to get Dak's team to counter with a $5-10M counter offer to make everything go away.
