Woman Accuses Dak Prescott of Sexual Assault and Allegedly Tried to Extort $100 Million, and He Sues Her for $1 Million

Dak Prescott filed a $1 million civil lawsuit on March 11 in response to a letter sent to him by representatives the lady accuses him of sexual harassment after his rookie 12 months within the NFL.

Bethel and Yoel Zehaie sent a letter to Prescott on January 16. The letter allegedly tried to extort Prescott by offering to drop the criminal charges against him and withhold information in regards to the alleged sexual encounter from the general public in exchange for $100 million.

I came upon this woman, Victoria Shores, is sued by Prescott for libel and slander, per se libel, extortion/civil coercion, business disparagement, tortious interference with current and/or future business relationships, civil conspiracy and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

The letter reads: “Mrs. Shores had to live with this pain and trauma for seven years,” the letter explains. “It affected her relationship with her fiancé and her daily life so much that she had to attend therapy and counseling and will require therapy and counseling in the future. She experienced unimaginable mental anguish as she dealt with the trauma of being a victim of sexual violence. Despite the tragic events, she is ready to drop the criminal charges and reveal this information to the public in exchange for compensation for the mental anguish she has suffered. Mrs. Shores’ damages were estimated at $100,000,000. You have until February 16, 2024 to respond to this request.”

Prescott’s attorney, Levi McCathern, released an announcement defending his character and telling NBC Sports that his client had reported the letter to “the appropriate authorities” and “will continue to cooperate fully with the investigation.”

The statement reads partly: “Mr. Prescott – a new father of a daughter – shows great empathy for victims of sexual violence. He fervently believes that all perpetrators of such crimes should be punished to the fullest extent of the law. To be clear, Mr. Prescott has never engaged in non-consensual sexual activity 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’s filing of a lawsuit against Ms. Shores effectively, from a legal perspective, puts the ball in her team’s court, but according to a report from , Shores stands by his claims against Prescott. Yoel Zehaie told the outlet on March 12: “His team is trying to label this as extortion to change the narrative. We sent a demand letter, which is standard in legal practice and sexual assault cases.”

Zehaie also told 105.3 The Fan, a Dallas-area radio station, that the $100 million valuation of claims against Prescott isn’t fraud, but reflects the high price to be paid if the allegations against Prescott are true.

“One of the most common expressions for wrongful death is: what price can be paid for the life of a deceased person? Well, what price can you pay for rape? The trauma associated with it, the humiliation resulting from it? There is no price you can put on it.”

According to press release issued by Prescott’s legal teamplans to turn over any ruling in her favor to the Joyful Heart Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping victims of sexual violence.

Another of Prescott’s lawyers, Jennifer Falk, a former prosecutor who handled sexual assault cases, said the allegations had the potential to harm the “Believe Women” social movement, saying, “I approach every case with a lens that believe because that’s what we should be doing socially,” Falk said. “But the moment I got involved in this case and read the demand letter, I became very concerned.”
