Dallas police on Thursday confirmed they are investigating an alleged 2017 sexual assault involving Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott.
The investigation is a result of a complaint filed Wednesday by a woman who alleges Prescott assaulted her in the back of an SUV seven years ago.
On Monday, Prescott filed a suit in Collin County claiming he is being extorted for $100 million by the alleged victim and her attorneys. Separately, police in Prosper, Texas, where the quarterback lives, are now investigating Prescott's extortion claim.
Prescott's attorney, Levi McCathern, questioned the timing of the alleged victim going to police seven years after the alleged assault took place and after the extortion investigation began this week.
