Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott envisioned an offseason whether he would get extended with a new deal. Instead, his name has been trending over a sexual assault claim.
Dallas police are investigating claims of an alleged sexual assault involving Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott and a woman from 2017.
That is just the first investigation involving him.
Via the Dallas Morning News, Dallas authorities are investigating both the claim of sexual assault against Prescott and the claim by Prescott that he is the victim of an extortion plot.
“Two police investigations are now happening concurrently: Prosper police are investigating Cowboys QB Dak Prescott’s claim he was extorted, and Dallas police are investigating a woman’s claim she was sexually assaulted in 2017,” Michael Gehlken of the Dallas Morning News said.

Prescott was accused of sexually assaulting a woman in 2017 following his rookie season with the Cowboys. Prescott has sued the woman over extortion. The woman has requested $100 million in exchange for withholding pressing criminal charges and going public with the allegations.
The sexual assault allegedly occurred in February 2017 in the parking lot of the Dallas strip club known as XTC Cabaret.
The woman’s attorney, Yoel Zwhaie, took his client’s case to the Dallas radio waves this week and said his client is considering filing criminal charges.
The NFL and the Dallas Cowboys have declined to comment on either the allegations against Prescott or his claims of extortion.
