Dallas police said Cowboys’ quarterback Dak Prescott will not be charged after he was accused of sexual assault in an alleged incident in 2017 after his rookie season. An investigation, which has been closed, determined there was “insufficient evidence” that a crime was committed, police said in a statement this week. Prescott’s representatives have said they were notified in February about a woman who accused the athlete of sexually assaulting her in 2017.

'Generally speaking, it takes victims a long time to come forward. And that makes ... criminal cases very difficult to prosecute in sexual assault cases,' Zehaie said. “If you look at the data, very few sexual assaults do end up getting prosecuted, but we’re still moving forward with our civil claims.” After Prescott's suit, the woman filed a lawsuit in March in Dallas County accusing Prescott of sexual assault.
