In a recent development, Dallas authorities have initiated investigations into allegations of sexual assault made against Dallas Cowboys quarterback, Dak Prescott. The claim stems from an incident that allegedly took place on February 2, 2017, in the parking lot of a Dallas strip club called XTC Cabaret.

As reported by the Dallas Morning News, Prescott has also filed a lawsuit against his accuser and her lawyers, claiming that he is the victim of an extortion plot. Authorities in Prosper, Texas are now looking into the allegations of an extortion plot against Prescott.

Last week, an attorney representing Prescott met with the Prosper Police Department. While the details of the meeting remain undisclosed, the police department has stated that the case is in the preliminary stages and is an active investigation.

According to Attorney Yoel Zehaie, representing the accuser, a counterclaim against Prescott will soon be filed. The civil actions related to these claims will not be restricted by any applicable statute of limitations.

Zehaie raised concerns regarding Prescott's changing statements. Initially, Prescott claimed that he did not know his accuser, but later stated that the encounter was consensual and expressed a desire for more information to refresh his memory.

It is important to note that the outcome of the ongoing criminal investigations does not directly impact the civil litigation. Separate standards of proof apply, and even if the statute of limitations for pursuing civil claims may have expired, the criminal statute of limitations could possibly allow the case to be brought to criminal court.

As the investigations continue to unfold, it remains to be seen what legal ramifications will arise from these allegations against the Cowboys quarterback. Updates on both the civil and criminal proceedings will be closely monitored.
