Legal Action in Collin County, Texas

The lawsuit was filed by Prescott on Monday in Collin County, Texas, as reported by the Dallas Morning News. According to the lawsuit, the defendant claimed that Prescott sexually assaulted her in the backseat of his SUV in 2017 in Plano, Texas, after the conclusion of his rookie season.

In response to the situation, Prescott's attorney, Levi G. McCathern, characterized the letter as part of an extortion plot. The lawsuit seeks damages from the defendant in excess of $1 million.
