Pittsburgh Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger Sued For Sexual Assault
July 21, 2009
Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is being accused of sexually assaulting Andrea McNulty, an employee at Harrah’s Casino.
According to the civil suit filed last week in Washoe County, Nevada, the attack occurred in July 2008. McNulty claims that Roethlisberger asked her to come to his hotel room to fix the television and then once she came in, he forced her to have sex with him.
Roethlisberger’s lawyer, David Cornwell, told NBC Sports that the charges by Andrea McNulty are false:
“Ben has never sexually assaulted anyone, especially Andrea McNulty.
The timing of the lawsuit and the absence of a criminal complaint and a criminal investigation are the most compelling evidence of the absence of any criminal conduct.
If an investigation is commenced, Ben will cooperate fully and Ben will be fully exonerated.”
Roethlisberger faces several civil charges, including assault, sexual assault and battery, and intentonal infliction of emtional distress.
