Dallas police won't pursue sexual assault charges against Cowboys' quarterback Dak Prescott

Dallas police said Cowboys’ quarterback Dak Prescott will not be charged after he was accused of sexual assault in an alleged incident in 2017 after his rookie season.
An investigation, which has been closed, determined there was “insufficient evidence” that a crime was committed, police said in a statement this week.
Prescott’s representatives have said they were notified in February about a woman who accused the athlete of sexually assaulting her in 2017.
Prescott has since filed a lawsuit against the woman, alleging that she tried to extort him out of millions of dollars. His suit alleged the woman said she would not press charges or go public about the accusations if Prescott paid her $100 million.
“This case arises out of a blatant attempt by [the woman] and her legal team to extort plaintiff Dak Prescott by weaponizing patently false, yet heinous sexual assault allegations with no basis in reality,” the lawsuit said.
