A Texas judge has dismissed a sexual assault lawsuit filed against Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, deeming the allegations “lacking in merit.” The decision, made by Judge Angela Tucker in Colin County, Texas, brings a legal conclusion to the accusations leveled against Prescott earlier this year.
Prescott’s attorney, Levi McCathern, released a statement following the ruling, expressing satisfaction that justice had prevailed. “Despite Ms. [redacted]’s and her legal team’s relentless efforts to extort money and damage Dak’s reputation,” McCathern said, “justice has consistently prevailed and will continue to do so.” He characterized the original allegations and the subsequent lawsuit as part of an “extortion plot” that undermines the progress made in supporting legitimate survivors of sexual assault.

The lawsuit, filed by [redacted], alleged that Prescott assaulted her in the parking lot of a Texas strip club in February 2017. While Prescott admitted to the encounter, he firmly maintained that it was consensual. Dallas police investigated the claims but found insufficient evidence to pursue criminal charges.
Prescott responded to the accusations by filing a countersuit, the status of which is currently unclear. The judge has scheduled a hearing for September 13 to determine if any further sanctions should be imposed on [redacted] and her legal team for their role in the case.
This legal victory comes as a relief to Prescott and the Cowboys organization, allowing them to shift their focus back to the upcoming NFL season. The team and its fans will undoubtedly be eager to put this incident behind them and rally behind their star quarterback as they pursue a successful campaign on the field.
