Dallas Police Will Not Pursue Charges Against Dak Prescott from 2017 Allegation

Dallas Cowboys starting QB Dak Prescott has one more issue off his plate for the upcoming football season.

Prescott has had a sexual assault case hanging over his head since 2017.

This week, the Dallas Police announced that no charges will be filed against Prescott after they investigated the claim.

No Charges

The allegations are centered around an alleged incident that took place on February 2, 2017, outside a Dallas strip bar.

This all got started when Dak Prescott filed a suit against Victoria Shores for trying to extort him for $100 million.

That, in turn, led to Shores filing a sexual assault suit against Prescott, claiming that he exposed himself to her in the back of an SUV in the parking lot of XTC Cabaret, then sexually assaulted her.

The claim was investigated, but police were not able to find any evidence of a sexual assault, so there will be no charges filed.

Dallas Police simply stated, "Detectives determined there was insufficient evidence an offense was committed.”

Shores, however, is determined that this is not the last of this case.

According to her attorneys, Prescott’s suit violated the “Anti Slapp Statute,” which prohibits retaliatory lawsuits.

Prescott has been starting for the Dallas Cowboys since Tony Romo went down with an injury in 2016.

The unwritten law of not replacing a starter with a backup due to injury was broken by then-Head Coach Jason Garrett, who kept Prescott as the starter even after Romo was ready to return.

Since then, Prescott has been the face of the organization, although he has failed to deliver results that would justify that "franchise player" label that the media and organization have slapped on him.

Since taking over as the starter, Prescott is 2-5 in playoff games, failing to make it to the NFC Championship game during his career.

Even so, Jerry Jones rewarded Prescott with a massive contract extension to start the 2021 season, paying Prescott an average of $40 million a year through the 2024 season, with $95 million guaranteed.

This season is the final season of the deal, which will hit the Cowboys salary cap at more than $55 million unless the Cowboys resign Prescott and restructure the deal in the process.

Needless to say, Prescott is not exactly a fan favorite in the city right now.
