Ta. “An investigation has been conducted and the case has been closed,” a police statement said. . “Detectives determined that there was insufficient evidence that a crime had been committed.” In March, the woman and her attorney drove the two of them in a black SUV to their destination on or about February 2, 2017. She filed a civil lawsuit alleging that she was sexually assaulted by Mr. Prescott while traveling there. Her complaint alleges that Mr. Prescott exposed himself to her girlfriend and when she refused his advances, Mr. Prescott assaulted her and raped her. Days before the March charges, Prescott filed a lawsuit in Collin County. , Texas, she claimed she was trying to extort $100 million from him. The woman filed a countersuit against Prescott's lawsuit in April. Levi McAthern, one of Mr. Prescott's attorneys, thanked the Dallas Police Department and the Dallas County District Attorney's Office for their “thorough investigation” into the case. After extensive fact-finding, nothing was found to support criminal charges. We are confident that a law enforcement investigation into the racketeering case will find the accuser and his attorney as guilty as Duck is innocent,” McCassan said in a statement. Ta. “He never intended to assault any woman. These false charges were brought seven years after the alleged events for one reason only: to line the pockets of the accusers and their lawyers. One of his attorneys, Yoel Zehaie, responded to the decision not to sue Prescott by saying in an email: “That makes these cases very difficult to prosecute. This in no way proves Mr. Prescott's innocence.'' The woman's attorneys have said they intend to continue their counterclaim against the 30-year-old, her attorney said. Even if Levi Macassan tries every tactic against us to keep us from going to court, including trying to order the prosperous Dallas Cowboys' law enforcement to go after us. “Despite the fact that they are using it, they accepted our counterclaim,” the statement said. She said she is “begging” Prescott's lawyers to agree to a court date. CNN has reached out to Macassan for comment on the woman's counterclaim.
