This offseason, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott faced a legal battle in the form of a seven-year-old sexual assault claim made earlier this year. But Prescott was victorious in court, and it sounds like his legal team is quite pleased with the result.
In a statement released this week, Prescott’s attorney announced that the case had been dismissed, saying that “justice has consistently prevailed and will continue to do so.”
“Despite Ms. Shores and her legal team’s relentless efforts to extort money and damage Dak’s reputation, justice has consistently prevailed and will continue to do so,” Levi McCathern said according to Pro Football Talk. “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. These ploys distract from the trauma of legitimate sexual assault survivors and undermine the progress that our society has made in supporting them. We are proud that Dak stands up against this injustice and thankful Judge Tucker agrees.”
It’s not clear exactly why the charges were dismissed, but this does seem to be a pretty strong victory for Prescott as he tries to prepare for the upcoming NFL season with the Cowboys.
