Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott and his fiancée, Sarah Jane Ramos, were a beloved couple among NFL fans, often sharing their affection through social media and public appearances. However, just a month before their planned wedding in Italy, the couple has reportedly ended their relationship, sparking speculation about the reasons behind their split.
This development comes alongside resurfacing allegations against Prescott from Victoria Shores, who has accused him of sexual assault. Shores claims that the incident occurred in February 2017, alleging that Prescott assaulted her in the back of an SUV outside a Dallas strip club after having exposed himself. According to her account, she clearly communicated her lack of consent, yet the assault occurred after other passengers exited the vehicle. Initially seeking to resolve the matter privately, Shores ultimately took legal action.
In January 2024, Shores’ legal team sent a demand letter to Prescott’s representatives, asking for $100 million to forgo pursuing criminal charges and keep the matter private. She cited the need for compensation for “unimaginable” mental anguish and trauma due to the alleged incident. Prescott’s refusal led her to involve the Dallas police, who are now investigating her claims.
Dak Prescott has strongly denied the allegations, calling them a fabricated attempt at extortion. In response, he filed a retaliatory civil lawsuit against Shores and her attorneys, revealing the $100 million demand. Through his attorney, Prescott stated he has “never engaged in any non-consensual sexual conduct.” Although he acknowledged a consensual encounter with Shores in 2017, his legal defense argued that her actions since then indicated a consensual relationship.
The Dallas Police Department concluded its investigation of the claims in May 2024, citing insufficient evidence and closing the case without charges. A judge dismissed Shores’ civil lawsuit in June 2024, deeming the claims baseless. Following this dismissal, hearings were scheduled to discuss potential sanctions against Shores and her attorneys for filing what the court considered frivolous claims.
In light of the dismissed allegations, Prescott has initiated an extortion lawsuit against Shores, with intentions to donate any recovered funds to charities that support legitimate survivors of sexual assault. This controversy gained added attention due to his recent altercation with Ramos during a joint bachelor party, which reportedly led to their breakup.
The split appears to have roots in a significant argument during the couple’s bachelor and bachelorette parties in the Bahamas. Sources have described their relationship as irreparable, and both Prescott and Ramos have removed recent social media posts about their wedding preparations. Speculation surrounding their breakup includes unverified claims that a disagreement over a prenuptial agreement may have contributed to the final decision. Moving forward, the couple, together since 2023, will focus on co-parenting their two daughters.
