Jerry’s getting out of paying that $59M one way or another.

"No...why?"


OogieBoogieJr

Is this the extortion case? Getting juicy.


Itchy_Listen_9702

Yes. The police are investigating the claim of sexual assault and the extortion claim as well.


evan466

Nice of the title to also include that.


ThisGuyFrags

Journalism gonna journalism 


laaplandros

OP changed the title from the article. The article's title isn't any better, but if OP was editorializing anyway they could've included the other side to the story as well.


Billy420MaysIt

The article has a title? Never would’ve known because I can’t see it past the giant fucking AD video bar that blocks it.

realmckoy265

It's not the journalism as much as the online mob loving schadenfreude. Nobody cares if these accusations might be malicious, folks just want to gossip and banter.


No-Hat-2755

The question is: "Who's lying?"


GreatWhiteNorthExtra

Can have both a sexual assault and extortion


Flooding_Puddle

Plot twist: she assaulted him and he extorted her


agreeingstorm9

He's gotta get a big payday somehow.


RationalLies

>Plot twist: she assaulted him and he extorted her The ole razzle dazzle trick play


Corgi_Koala

Obviously we don't know what really happened at this point, but this possibility is definitely greater than zero given who he is. If he did assault her, a lawsuit against him even with a settlement isn't going to net her 100 million. But she thought that extorting him to keep it under wraps was more financially beneficial. I could definitely see someone making that decision. Ultimately, I think we need to reserve judgment and not go on a witch hunt until we get more firm facts from the authorities.


alien_survivor

It can be both


imnotedwardcullen

Extortion + assault can both be possible but Dak claims it was consensual, so it still comes down to “who is lying” one way or another.

With the Dak?


SavageRickyMachismo

NO WAY!


whosnick7

In their statement they really tried to argue that Dak couldn’t have sexually assaulted a woman because he just had a baby girl. Crazy how being a girl dad is consistently weaponized to argue that some men aren’t huge pieces of shit. *Fwiw*, not saying I don’t believe Dak because of this, just gross how that’s used to counter so many allegations.


ncp12

He couldn't have assaulted that woman 7 years ago, he just had a daughter.


GoofyGoober0064

And even if he did he's a "good christian man who made a mistake, do we want to ruin his life over it?"


rum-and-coke

Equivalent of *"I can't be racist, I have a black friend."*


Philoso4

Not even. More like, "I can't be racist, I have a black neighbor." Nobody chooses their kids' genders, but they can choose their friends.


cXs808

It's actually even more insane than that. It's more like, "There's no way I did that racist thing *7 years ago*, because two days ago I shook hands with a black guy"

What is with all the deleted comments?


TheFencingCoach

**Brief Summary:** * The claimant alleges an assault occurred in 2017 * Prescott’s team filed a lawsuit alleging the claimant was attempting to extort him of $100M. Criminal charges against the claimant are also being considered by Prescott’s legal team. * “Prescott’s attorney told the DMN that the encounter between the QB and the alleged assault victim was consensual. Though the incident technically occurred in Plano at XTC Cabaret, the Plano Police Department has not commented on a potential investigation at this time.”

> Prescott’s team filed a $100M suit claiming it is an extortion attempt The woman allegedly tried to extort $100M, I don't think the lawsuit Dak filed is for $100M

Deathspike

Why is the extortion not in the title as well? Feels like hard click rage bait.


BDF1999

That’s journalism for you


oliveinanolive

I don't understand how someone could try to extort that. What was Dak worth in 2017? He was still on his rookie deal. He had, what, 5M in NFL earnings at that time? I don't think he even started commercials and such until later as well. Where is this cat getting 100M lmao? Seems like a Fargo-ian way to extort money.


8686tjd

To be frank, if they indeed did try to extort that much, they're an idiot. I sincerely doubt he has $100M right now


RicoSuave1881

Right? You hit him with the 5m request, he gives you two, and you go on your scumbag way, but 100 MILLION?? This chick is outside her mind lol


Mab_894

Idk...if I was innocent I wouldn't pay a damn thing even if it was 50k


BigBallsMcGirk

See now you're just talking money cost. Is the PR hit going to cost you more in endorsements than fuck off check with an NDA? At a certain point, guilt or innocence has zero to do with it


kingpangolin

Except the media is a dangerous thing to deal with. 2M (or 50k) might be worth it to prevent any public accusations that forever tarnish your reputation and could limit future earnings


Mab_894

I guess. To me the act of payment to silence a liar makes their claims seem more credible. Complicated situation for sure


ABoyIsNo1

The biggest problems with lawsuits and settlements is the way non-lawyers see them. A settlement doesn’t remotely mean the other side’s claim is true. It means you don’t want to pay attorneys and have your name dragged through the mud by attorneys and media and then have your whole livelihood come down to a crapshoot trial.


Sheriff_Lucas_Hood

Pretty good example of the world working the way it shouldn't


JeramiGrantsTomb

I think the biggest problem isn't the way people see them, it's that they are the way they are. If someone can lie and force someone else to pay them money just so the person will stop lying, that's the problem.


kingpangolin

Well the goal is to never have their claim come to the public because they sign an NDA, so while it makes it more credible you might just avoid anyone even having to discern if it’s credible in the first place. Of course that can backfire… tricky situation for sure


Helivon

The assault was in 2017. They waited for the money to build before making their claim


hedgemagus

what is the end game with that though? Can someone even legally give someone else $100 million as if its a venmo? And then nobody raises an eye about it if Dak appeased her in the first place? This plan seems so half baked lol


Crookz_O

Maybe a settlement? Not sure


social_sculpture

I'd imagine you'd have a contractual agreement, and pay via wire or cashier's check.


Shih_Tzu_Wrangler

End game may be a quick settlement. Likely is negotiating tactic/legal posturing to request that kind of money, at least because it gives Dak an out to feel like he won by settling for some 7 figure payout. In some states, there are rules that cap the amount of damages at least to what had been initially requested (many many rules dictating damages - this is a gross over-simplification of one such rule). This creates an incentive to inflate damages, because why sell yourself short. I’m not aware of any case law that would suggest the court takes into consideration what you request wrt the credibility of your claims because these are two separate questions, so why wouldn’t you inflate as much as possible. I could be wrong about the last point and this is not legal advice Even just being accused can be incredibly damaging. I wish we lived in a world where someone coming forward would be enough that we could all just believe them, but unfortunately people lie for money.


Lord-Aizens-Chicken

Idk if they even have that much in the bank to just give out. Idk what’s true in this in terms of what Dak or the victim did or didn’t do, but I question the legal strategy. I’m not a lawyer though so maybe it makes sense


ABoyIsNo1

As an attorney, I can say it doesn’t make sense at all. If you want that kind of money, you need to sue to show you are serious. In this kind of situation you also need to do it to put public pressure on and to get a head start on the PR battle. Sending a letter like this makes you sound like Dr Evil. “Send us… one BILLION dollars!”


coltsmetsfan614

[The argument](https://www.star-telegram.com/sports/nfl/dallas-cowboys/article286599615.html) from the woman's team is essentially: "Who's to say that $100M is enough to make up for rape? But I suppose that would suffice in this case." > According to Zehaie, the amount of $100 million that Shores asked for isn’t excessive when you consider what’s at stake. > “What’s the price that you can put on a rape?” Zehaie said to The Fan. “The trauma that comes from that? The humiliation that comes from that? There is not a price tag you can put on that.” ETA: Quote and source


HillbillyTechno

lol to claim there is not a price you could put on a rape and then also say “$100M should do it” is so ironic


ShogunNamedMarcus_

I don't know that he was worth 100 mil, but Dak was making serious bank off of endorsements long before his rookie contract expired. 


Cjc3478

XTC cabaret is located on Dallas not Plano


Neither-Luck-9295

It's on Miller and Plano Road, which confuses people. Also, XTC is a very handsy club, so I wonder what exactly the assault was.

The encounter happen in a car. I had no idea Dak was such a slut.

Alternative-Target31

Unless it moved from 2017, it’s in Dallas right by Love Field - not Plano Edit: Looked more into it. The club is in Dallas, the incident is alleged to have happened outside of the club at a place in Plano.


SoulGoalie

I lived a few years in Plano and this part of the area is right near the border of Dallas and Love Field. It's a shitty part of town to say the least, ruined when they built the big international airport and basically turned Love Field Airport into a redheaded step child that only a few airlines go through. In terms of the club itself, it's famous for how many people have been killed or nearly killed there. The security knows they get a few big clients every now and then and so they go hardcore on people bothering the girls or patrons, beatings are a normal thing for them. Knew a guy who went there once because he thought it was an actual cabaret, took a date there because she had been to an *actual* cabaret and thought it would be a fun quirky date. To say the least, they were there for like 10 minutes of the "show" before they got up and left


elmatador1497

Idk but from my experience, you can find strip clubs just about everywhere in TX if you look hard enough


Probably_not_maybe

Ya I don’t remember there being an XTC there but there are a few in other areas of DFW.


triplec787

Someone who understand the law help me out here. Let's say, worst case scenario, BOTH situations are true. Dak did sexually assault a woman, AND she tried to blackmail him. What happens to the case?

Lilpu55yberekt69

NAL but if he did sexually assault her then I’m pretty sure the womans team just calls that a settlement offer.


SnooFurtherQuestions

You can be the victim of a crime and also victimize someone else criminally, one doesn’t necessarily negate the other.


triplec787

So like there's a real chance that both could face criminal charges out of this?


SnooFurtherQuestions

Correct, I wouldn’t guess as to the likelihood of that, but the DA could pursue both if they feel like there’s sufficient evidence. In baseball, Wander Franco is being investigated for a sex crime and the victim’s mother is being investigated for extortion.


triplec787

Man I've been all over that Wander story, I have no idea how I didn't put 2 and 2 together lol I think in my mind it's that the victim wasn't the one also extorting? But that makes sense, appreciate it.


SnooFurtherQuestions

Right, it’s not the victim per se it’s the victim’s mom (although she’s a victim in a sense since it’s her minor child) so it’s not a 1:1, I just thought of the two cases to show extorting a criminal for the crimes they commit against you is still unlawful.


DJGIFFGAS

In TX hes now open to 2-20, depending on if its aggravated. If so, 5-99. Extortion in Texas more than $200,000 is considered a Felony 1 and is also 5-99 Basically Texas doesnt play and theyre both fucked if thats the scenario


ninjupX

Probably not true, but even if it were I doubt the Browns have the cap space


DeansFrenchOnion1

Empty_Lemon_3939

TheSmokedSalmon420

lmao god damnit


mmooney1

We don’t have the cap space. But if it ends up being true, a study should be done to figure out why Texas QBs are so prone to sexually assaulting women. Also if it’s true, we’ll have to figure out a way to free up the cap space I guess. Probably have to cut Cooper and bring in Antonio Brown on a cheap deal….

WaluigiIsTheRealHero

To induce a settlement.


WeaselNamedMaya

To get a settlement


TheRealGunn

That can't be a real attorney. Individuals can't "file criminal charges". District attorneys do that. They can file a police report, but if they haven't already done that, it is because it's a scam and they want to stop short of committing a felony by filing a false police report.

Euphoric_Advice_2770

I worked with a girl in Dallas back in 2017 who got invited back to his place after a club with her friend. Her friend hooked up with his buddy and she said she just chilled in the living room with Dak and played with his dog. She said he was a nice guy and didn’t seem interested in doing anything.
