Prescott said in her lawsuit that the accuser's attorneys sent her a letter in January demanding $100 million in exchange for her remaining silent about the allegations. FOX 4 reported, citing court documents. The woman claimed Prescott sexually assaulted her in 2017 after her first season in Dallas.
The 30-year-old quarterback filed a countersuit against the woman for $1 million and his attorneys denied the allegations.
“Mr. Prescott, a new father of a baby girl, has great empathy for survivors of sexual assault,” Prescott's attorney, Levi McCathern, said in a statement via ESPN. “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 any 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 had just finished his rookie season with the Cowboys at the time of the alleged assault. The woman's attorney said Prescott acknowledged being with the woman on the night in question.
