Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott picked up his first win of the season this week. On Wednesday, a judge dismissed a sexual assault lawsuit that was filed against him.

Collin County Judge Angela Tucker made this ruling after finding "insufficient evidence" to pursue further action against Prescott.

The lawsuit stem from an alleged incident that took place in 2017. A woman accused Prescott of assaulting her in a strip club parking lot.

Prescott's attorney, Levi McCathern, had no trouble calling out the accuser, Victoria Shores.

"Despite Ms. Shores and her legal team's relentless efforts to extort money and damage Dak's reputation, justice has consistently prevailed and will continue to do so," McCathern said, via ProFootballTalk. "The original lies by [the accuser], her team, and their recent failed attempt to sue him civilly are all just a continuation of their extortion plot against Dak. These ploys distract from the trauma of legitimate sexual assault survivors and undermine the progress that our society has made in supporting them. We are proud that Dak stands up against this injustice and thankful Judge Tucker agrees."

Prescott has not yet commented on his legal situation. We'd have to imagine he's relieved it's all over.

A hearing has been set for Sept. 13 to determine if sanctions should be put into place against Shores and her legal team. Until then, it should be relatively quiet on this front.
