It is a very murky affair that the American sports media ESPN has just revealed. According to documents obtained by its reporters, one of the most popular franchises in American football, the Dallas Cowboys, found itself at the heart of a particularly repugnant affair… The vice-president of the organization, a certain Rich Dalrympleis accused of voyeurism against the cheerleaders of the Texas-based team.
According to their information, the latter, who is in charge of public relations and communication for the team, was in possession ofa secure card allowing him to enter the cheerleaders’ locker room. He would have used it in 2015 to enter this place reserved for young women and he would have been seen “standing, behind a wall […]with her iPhone turned and held out to them as they changed”. Following accusations against Rich Dalrymple, the Dallas Cowboys allegedly negotiated with four cheerleaders to pay them each the sum of $400,000, for a total sum of $2.4 million.
Another accusation towards the vice-president of the team
To weigh down the case of Rich Dalrymple, a witness claims to have seen him, still the same year, taking pictures upskirt of owner’s daughter of the team and vice-president of the Cowboys, Charlotte Jones Anderson. The accused totally denied the facts with which he was charged, speaking of “false accusations”. For the cheerleaders, he speaks of an accident and for the vice-president of a pure invention.
For its part, the franchise of Dallas conducted its investigation, claiming to have found no tangible evidence against Rich Dalrymple, but that if that had been the case, he would have been immediately fired from the organization. Since then, the man who spent 32 years with the Cowboys retired at the beginning of February.
