Dak Prescott sues Texas woman and her attorneys over alleged $100million extortion scheme: Cowboys star’s attorney says his client was being blackmailed over ‘completely fabricated’ sexual assault claim

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has sued a Texas woman and her attorneys in response to an alleged $100 million racketeering scheme centered around what his attorney says is a “completely fabricated” sexual abuse allegation.

In January, Prescott received a letter from attorneys Bethel and Yoel Zehaie on behalf of their client, Victoria Baileigh Shores, according to a lawsuit filed in Texas’ Collin County and provided to DailyMail.com by Prescott’s attorney, Levi McCathern. The letter included the allegation that Prescott sexually assaulted Shores in the back of an SUV on February 2, 2017, following his rookie season in the NFL.

‘Mrs. Shores has had to live with this pain and trauma for seven years,” reads the purported letter sent to Prescott by Shores’ attorneys. ‘It affected her relationship with her fiancé and her daily life so much that she had to attend therapy and counseling and will need therapy and counseling in the future. She has suffered mental anguish that is unimaginable in dealing with the trauma of an assault on the victim.”

The letter informs Prescott that Shores “is willing to waive criminal charges, along with making this information public, in exchange for compensating her for the mental anguish she has suffered.”

Prescott is then told that ‘Ms. Shores’ damages are estimated at $100,000,000.00 and he had “until February 16, 2024” to respond.

In the alleged letter from Shores’ lawyers to Prescott, he is given the opportunity to pay her $100 million.

For some inexplicable reason, Mississippi State University, Prescott’s alma mater, is addressed as a third party in the correspondence from Shores’ attorneys.

to us and say they want to come forward. we have also filed our own lawsuit.”

In a statement, Prescott’s attorney denied Shores’ sexual abuse allegations and accused her of extortion.

‘Mr. Prescott – a new father of a daughter – has great empathy for survivors of sexual violence. He passionately believes that all perpetrators of such crimes should be punished to the fullest extent of the law,” McCathern said in a statement to DailyMail.com. “To be clear, Mr. Prescott has never engaged in non-consensual sexual conduct with anyone. Lies hurt. Especially malicious lies. We will not allow the defendant and her legal team to profit from this attempt to extort millions from Mr. Prescott.”

Prescott also reported the alleged extortion scheme to authorities, according to McCathern.

In a message to DailyMail.com, Yoel Zehaie confirmed that Shores is his client and promised to file a lawsuit against Prescott himself.

“Dak is a rapist,” read Zehaie’s message to DailyMail.com. “And our story will be heard. Our client is reporting aggravated sexual assault to the police in Dallas today. More women have come forward

Prescott does not deny having intercourse with Shores, but insists she never expressed any concerns

Prescott’s filing explains that he was “single” at the time of the alleged attack, and does not deny that the two had intercourse. It further suggests that Shores’ conduct over the past seven years is “consistent with his involvement only in consensual actions of Mr. Prescott.”

“The fact that Mr. Prescott heard nothing negative about this alleged interaction nearly a decade ago truly speaks to the defendants’ motives,” the filing said.

The countersuit is also valued at $100 million, although McCathern stated that any award would be donated by Prescott to the Joyful Heart Foundation, which helps victims of sexual assault.

The 30-year-old Prescott led the NFL in touchdown passes last season before finishing second in the MVP voting behind Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson.

Prescott is entering the final season of his four-year, $160 million deal. He has earned more than $160 million in eight NFL seasons.

He and his girlfriend, Sarah Jane Ramos, recently announced the birth of a baby girl.
