Cowboys' Jerry Jones Requests Paternity Lawsuit Filed by Alexandra Davis Be Dismissed

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones asked a judge to dismiss a paternity lawsuit filed by Alexandra Davis, according to ESPN's Don Van Natta Jr.

Van Natta reported that Jones' lawyers allege he is the victim of "multiple monetary extortion attempts" and contended Davis' suit is among those schemes.

"The potential source(s) of those attempted extortions ... will be the subject of other litigation which has been filed or will be instituted shortly," Jones' representatives said in a motion.

Van Natta reported that Charles L. Babcock, one of Jones' lawyers, wrote a letter on March 10 that "connects the Davis paternity lawsuit against Jones and numerous other recent Cowboys scandals to the ongoing contentious divorce battle between Jones' daughter, Charlotte Jones Anderson, and her husband Shy Anderson.
