Jerry Jones sexual assault lawsuit: Trial delayed in case against $13,800,000,000 Cowboys owner pertaining to 2018 incident
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones will stand trial for allegedly forcibly kissing a woman back in 2018. The woman claimed that Jones grabbed her and kissed her without consent. However, the trial has been delayed, with the judge presiding over the case pushing back proceedings on Wednesday. A new date for the trial has not yet been announced.
The alleged incident happened in September 2018. The jury trial was reportedly set for March 18 following the state's Supreme Court permitting the case to proceed.
Previously, the Dallas Cowboys owner, who has a net worth of $13.8 billion per Forbes, and his legal team denied the allegations and called the court case "frivolous", according to NBC 24.
Jerry Jones facing two lawsuits
The NFL franchise owner is also facing another lawsuit in which 27-year-old Alexandra Davis alleged that Jones is her biological father.
She alleged that Jones and her mother, Cynthia Davis, had an agreement from when she was young that the Cowboys owner would support them financially as long as they never publicly said he was her father, a claim he has denied.
They are suing to try and get genetic testing on Jones to prove he's the father. The lawsuit claims that the married Jones pursued the married Davis and has since been trying to keep everything quiet.
Their settlement reportedly called for Jones to pay Davis $375,000 and for her daughter to receive "certain monthly, annual and special funding" from a trust until she was 21, per NBC 24. She would also reportedly get lump sum payments when she turned 24, 26 and 28.
Jones' attorneys have stated that Alexandra Davis has gotten "millions of dollars" from the Cowboys owner in her lifetime. This case originated in March 2022, and it is currently one of two lawsuits the owner is facing while he tries to navigate the Cowboys back into being Super Bowl contenders.
