Dallas Cowboys Settles Cheerleaders' Allegation of Locker Room Voyeurism by Paying $2.4 Million | What Does NFL Have to Say?

The Dallas Cowboys has silently paid $2.4 million to people involved in cheerleaders' allegations of locker room voyeurism. The cheerleaders accused a former top team official of the act.

Dallas Cowboys' former senior vice president for public relations and communications, Richard Dalrymple, was accused of slipping into the cheerleaders' dressing room at AT&T Stadium in 2015, according to an NBC News report.

One of the cheerleaders accusing Dalrymple said that she spotted the former Dallas Cowboys' official with his iPhone extended toward them as the women were changing clothes.

Dalrymple reportedly got into the dressing room using a back entrance and his security key card.

The former Cowboys' official did not address any sexual misconduct allegations when he retired this month.

Dalrymple told team officials he entered the cheerleaders' locker room not knowing that the women were still there, adding that he left right away.

After the incident, the women received each $399,523.57, according to an EPSN report.

Dalrymple was also accused by a Cowboys fan of taking "upskirt" photos of Charlotte Jones Anderson, who is a team senior vice president and daughter of the team owner Jerry Jones.

It was in the Cowboys' war room during the 2015 NFL draft, according to documents and interviews.

Dalrymple said in a statement said that people who know who he is and what he is about, adding that he understands the nature of the claims and do not take them lightly.

However, he said in his statement that the accusations are false. Dalrymple said that "one was accidental and the other simply did not happen."

Dalrymple said that the allegations were thoroughly investigated years ago and that he cooperated fully.

Jim Wilkinson, a communications consultant for the Dallas Cowboys, said that the investigation was handled consistent with best legal and HR practices, adding that the probe found no evidence of wrongdoing.

However, a person familiar with the matter claimed that the team issued Dalrymple a formal written warning in October 2015.

The team source did not provide a copy of the warning or detail what it contained, mentioning privacy concerns.

Wilkinson said that Dalrymple would have been terminated immediately if any wrongdoing had been found.

The National Football League spokesman Brian McCarthy was asked to comment on the matter and said that they will "decline to comment as this was a club matter," according to an NBC Sports News report.

The NFL's vice president of communications also said that the league office is not investigating the Cowboys for how they handled allegations of workplace misconduct by Dalrymple.

He added that the investigation into Dalrymple was handled at the team level and that he was not sure if the league was informed during the probe, according to The Dallas Morning News report.

A former cheerleader familiar with the voyeurism allegations said that it became known among a few fellow cheerleaders.

The ex-Cowboys cheerleader said that it was a "very shut the book, don't talk about it." She added that the officials just made it go away.

A source noted that at least two security guards usually stand outside of the cheerleaders' dressing room when they are inside.

However, on the day that the allegation took place, only one security guard was present.

The cheerleader who allegedly caught Dalrymple was a veteran of several years on the team.
