Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott sees sexual assault lawsuit against him DISMISSED after Texas judge found claims ‘lacked merit’

A sexual assault lawsuit filed against Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott earlier this year has been dismissed because it ‘lacked merit’.

According to online court records, a Judge Angela Tucker in Colin County, Texas tossed the suit on Wednesday. 

The judge has also set a hearing on September 13 of this year to determine if any further sanctions should be levied against Prescott’s accuser, Victoria Shores, and her legal team. 

Levi McCathern, the attorney for Prescott, released a statement in the aftermath of the decision.

‘Despite Ms. Shores 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.’

Prescott’s attorneys say the suit was ‘just a continuation of [his accuser’s] extortion plot’

‘The original lies by Ms. Shores, 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’. 

In the suit that she filed, Shores claimed that Prescott assaulted her back in February of 2017 – saying that the Cowboys QB assaulted her in the parking lot of a Texas strip club.

Prescott claimed no wrongdoing and countersued her. It’s not clear what the status of the countersuit is.

Dallas police investigated the claims but announced back in May that there was insufficient evidence to pursue the case any further. 

Prescott does not deny having intercourse with Shores, but is adamant that their interactions were consensual.
