There were voyeurism allegations against Richard Dalrymple. It was 4:20
Stephen Jones, the Dallas Cowboys executive vice president, did not comment on a report regarding a settlement the organization paid four cheerleaders after a voyeurism allegation was made against a senior executive.
He was asked about his feelings about the organization.
Jones said after a break in competition committee meetings that he felt like the team had a solid culture. You want to get better every day. That would be my comment.
The cheerleaders accused Rich Dalrymple, the Cowboys senior vice president of public relations and communications, of using his security key card to enter the back door of their locked dressing room during an event at AT&T Stadium. According to people with knowledge of the events, one of the women said she saw Dalrymple standing behind a partial wall with his phone in his hand as they were changing their clothes.
In a second allegation, a Cowboys fan who was watching a livestream from the team's war room during the 2015 NFL draft swore in an affidavit that he saw Dalrymple take upskirt photos of Charlotte Jones Anderson, a team senior vice president. The cheerleaders, their spouses and Cowboys officials are barred from discussing either episode in the final document because of the alleged incident.
A team source said that Dalrymple entered the cheerleaders locker room to use the bathroom and left right away. Dalrymple said the allegations were false.
Stephen Jones said he didn't have anything to add to what Jerry said.
Jerry Jones told the NBC affiliate in Dallas that the cheerleaders are legendary. The Dallas Cowboys are a vital part of our organization. We took these allegations very seriously. We immediately began to investigate the situation. There would have been firings or suspensions if we had found that it was necessary.
In the best interest of our cheerleaders, and the best interest of the organization, we decided to show them how serious we were about these allegations, and we wanted them to know that we were serious.
The league said earlier this month that it wouldn't be opening an investigation.
Jerry Jones is expected to meet with reporters later this week.
