Prosper PD forwards Dak Prescott extortion case to Collin County DA
Dak's extortion case was moved to the Collin County DA
The needle is moving forward on the possibility of criminal charges — not against Dak Prescott — but against allegations that a woman tried to extort him.
DALLAS – of Collin County The District Prosecutor's Office now has the possible evidence that Advance the police converged on a woman Dak Prescott claims tried to extort him.
The Prosper Police Department told FOX 4 Friday it has forwarded the case to the DA.
Lawyers for Dallas Cowboys center back say the woman asked for $100 million in February. In return, she would not go to the police with her claim that Prescott sexually assaulted her seven years ago.
The woman has since gone to the police, but they investigated and did not pursue criminal charges against Prescott, citing “insufficient evidence.”
The needle is moving forward on the possibility of criminal charges — not against Prescott — but against allegations that a woman tried to extort him.
Prescott's attorneys say they went to Prosper police because that's the Collin County community where Prescott lives.
“By turning it over to the Collin County district attorney's office, it certainly still leaves open the possibility of charges,” said Russell Wilson, a former prosecutor not involved in the case.
The news comes a day later The Dallas Police Department announced that there was insufficient evidence to support the charges against Prescott that he sexually assaulted the woman he claims he extorted.
Victoria Shores alleged that Prescott had sexually assaulted her in the backseat of an SUV outside the XTC Cabaret in Dallas in 2017. However, she waited until March 12 of this year to file a police report.
This happened only after Prescott and his team went public with allegations that Shores and her lawyers were trying to extort him, demanding $100 million in exchange for not pursuing criminal charges.
Prescott sued Shores. She then contradicted Prescott.
Wilson says the Collin County DA's Office will likely turn the case over to a grand jury to decide whether or not there is sufficient probable cause to indict.
“Generally, a referral to the district attorney's office results in a grand jury review at a minimum,” he said.
Dak Prescott addresses sexual assault lawsuit
On Friday, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott publicly addressed the sexual assault lawsuit filed against him.
Remember, Prescott's lawyers have claimed that Shores and her lawyers are responsible for the extortion. It is unclear whether criminal charges are being investigated for all of them.
“This would be a very significant development,” Wilson said.
Shores' attorney sent FOX 4 an email saying Prescott's attorney “is a former judge in Collin County and the Cowboys run Collin County. He's basically trying to turn the county into an oligarchy and use their power and influence to to take revenge”.
Shores' attorneys are still trying to get Prescott's extortion lawsuit dismissed. A hearing has been scheduled for the end of this month.
The Collin County District Attorney's Office told FOX 4 it had no comment to make.
