Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott will not face any charges in connection to an investigation into an alleged assault that took place in 2017 after police said they found insufficient evidence to support that a crime had taken place, according to a report. 

Prescott, 30, was accused earlier this year of assaulting a woman in the back of a vehicle in a strip club parking lot back in February 2017.

According to The Associated Press, attorneys representing the woman sent a letter to Prescott in January requesting $100 million in exchange for her silence, including that she would not pursue criminal charges in connection with the alleged assault.

But Prescott instead filed an extortion lawsuit in Collin County, north of Dallas, against the woman in March.

"Sexual assault is a despicable crime that no person should ever endure," the lawsuit read. "Defendants’ false claims in this regard undermine the courage of actual sexual assault survivors everywhere as well as the legitimacy of the horrific traumas they have endured."

The woman then filed a countersuit and criminal charges, prompting the police investigation.
