Here is what Ms. Shores said happened seven years ago in the back of an SUV.
The letter states that the woman and Prescott became acquainted through her job, and that he invited her to hang out after talking on Snapchat. When the two eventually met up, the letter states Prescott picked the woman up in Plano while accompanied by “two members of [his] entourage” and “a couple additional female friends.”
At some point, the letter included in the filing states, the group allegedly entered a black SUV, and Prescott directed the woman to the back of the vehicle. At that point, the letter alleges, Prescott exposed his genitals.
The letter states that the woman at that point allegedly told Prescott she “did not want to engage in sexual intercourse and made sure to verbalize her wishes.”
The letter further alleges that, upon reaching its destination, the SUV came to a stop and everyone got out of the car except for the woman and Prescott, who allegedly “signaled to one of [his] entourage members to leave” him alone with the woman.
“At this point,” the letter alleges, “you used physical force and sexually assaulted [the woman] by penetrating her vagina against her consent.”
Prescott replied to the demand for $100 million by suing Shores and her lawyers for defamation and extortion; Dak says he has never had any type of relationship that wasn’t consensual.
Shores’ attorney released this statement.
One of the woman’s attorneys, Bethel Zehaie, issued a statement to ESPN later on Monday alleging that Prescott had acknowledged having been with the woman the night of her alleged assault in 2017.
“We stand by the truth,” the statement read, in part. “Dak and his lawyers are trying to be bullies and play hardball and victim blame. We are not afraid of the truth.”
Zehaie’s statement continued: “Dak needs to be held accountable for his behavior. We are not afraid of him or his legal team.”
We will have to see how this plays out; at the moment, the court of public opinion seems to be on Dak’s side, but that can change if there is evidence linking him to any type of assault.
