The Dallas Cowboys quietly paid $2.4 million to several cheerleaders who accused a former top team official of voyeurism, according to a published report.
Cowboys spokesman Jim Wilkinson said in a statement to NBC Dallas-Fort Worth that the team understood the gravity of the allegations, calling it an"unfortunate incident."
"The organization took these allegations extremely seriously and moved immediately to thoroughly investigate this matter. The investigation was handled consistent with best legal and HR practices and the investigation found no evidence of wrongdoing," he said. Wilkinson added:"If any wrongdoing had been found Rich would have been terminated immediately. The cheerleaders are a vital part of the Dallas Cowboys family, and in terms of the settlement, the organization wanted to go above and beyond to ensure the cheerleaders knew that their allegations had been taken extremely seriously, and immediately and thoroughly investigated. Everyone involved felt just terrible about this unfortunate incident.
NBC News could not immediately reach lawyers for the cheerleaders or a representative for Dalrymple for comment Thursday."People who know me, co-workers, the media and colleagues, know who I am and what I’m about,” the statement said. “I understand the very serious nature of these claims and do not take them lightly. The accusations are, however, false."
