Town officials in Prosper have confirmed that Prosper Police are currently investigating claims of extortion made by Dak Prescott against a woman from Fort Worth who has accused the Cowboys quarterback of rape.
According to a lawsuit filed in Collin County on Monday, the woman is alleged to have fabricated sexual assault allegations against Prescott in an attempt to extort $100 million from him.
Prescott has vehemently denied the allegations of sexual assault, and his attorney was unavailable for comment on Wednesday.
In an email to KERA, Prosper spokesperson Todd Rice confirmed the ongoing investigation, stating, “On Thursday, March 7, 2024, an attorney representing Mr. Rayne Dakota Prescott met with the Prosper Police Department (PPD). Mr. Prescott’s attorney explained to PPD officials that his client was possibly a victim of theft by coercion. Due to this matter being in the preliminary stages and considered an active investigation, further details are unavailable at this time.”
Attorney Yoel Zehaie, representing the woman, has stated that the extortion claims are merely a legal maneuver.
“This is a classic move to discredit sexual assault victims,” Zehaie remarked during an interview with 105.3 The Fan on Tuesday. “We sent a demand letter, which is very common practice in the legal profession, in civil cases. There’s nothing extortionist about it.”
Zehaie further mentioned that a civil lawsuit against Prescott is “very imminent,” and his client is contemplating filing criminal charges as well.
