Roethlisberger Sued Over Sex Assault

Big Ben denies allegations

Share

(Newser) – A Nevada hotel employee is suing Ben Roethlisberger for sexual assault and battery, Pro Football Talk reports. Andrea McNulty claims the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback lured her to his hotel room, then forced her to have sex. Roethlisberger’s lawyer denies the allegations: “Ben has never sexually assaulted anyone; especially Andrea McNulty,” he says of the alleged 2008 incident, adding that there’s been neither criminal complaint nor criminal investigation.

I agree. I live right outside of Pittsburgh, and I'm sure there are bunches of women he wouldn't have to assault! She probably just wants some publicity by accusing a Super Bowl winning QB. Go Steelers!

The fact that she is also suing her co-workers says it all -- even they won't support her "story." I hope Ben refuses to settle out of court. This woman deserves to learn the lesson that you can't file a ridiculous lawsuit just to get rich. Reply
