Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, winner of Super Bowls XL and XLIII, is named as a defendant in a lawsuit filed by a woman in Nevada.
According to online court records, a defamation lawsuit was filed in Washoe County, Nev., on Friday. Andrea McNulty is listed as the plaintiff.
Details of the suit were not available late Monday. Ben Roethlisberger was one of nine defendants listed in the online court docket report.
Sources say McNulty claims Roethlisberger asked her to come to his hotel room in July, 2008 - and then forced her to have sex with him.
An employee at Harrah's Hotel in Reno, McNulty is suing for sexual assault and battery, false imprisonment and infliction of emotional distress.
The football star's attorney released a statement to several media outlets confirming that Ben is accused of sexual assault by Andrea McNulty.
David Cornwell denied Ben sexually assaulted anyone, and said he was confident this would be proven, with the following statement:
"This weekend Andrea McNulty served Ben Roethlisberger with a civil complaint accusing him of sexually assaulting her in July 2008. Ben Roethlisberger has never sexually assaulted anyone; especially Andrea McNulty."
"The timing of the suit and the absence of a criminal complaint and investigation are compelling evidence of the absence of criminal conduct. If an investigation is commenced, Ben will cooperate fully and Ben will be fully exonerated."

This is ridiculous. In her statement she said that Ben called down to the front desk cause his sound system on his TV wasn’t working. According to her she went up to his room and I quote “to fix the TV herself” cause there was no technician available. When she went to leave the room, that’s when Ben SUPPOSEDLY violated her. She is a desk clerk not a TV technician, WTF would she know about fixing a TV. That is one of many red flags raised. She never filed criminal charges? I know women who were raped and violated and the first thing they did was either call the police, go to the hospital, or file criminal charges ASAP. And those women never considered waiting a year before exacting their revenge. Another red flag that comes to mind(bare with me) O.J. was found innocent for killing his wife and her lover in a criminal suit. Later O.J. was found guilty in a civil court and he was under oath. Here’s my point, If O.J. went under oath in a civil matter as he did in criminal court, why was he not held in contempt for purgery if he was found guilty in the civil case? That’s another red flag to me. This scum artist didn’t file criminal charges because when they prove she is lying under oath in a criminal case she can be convicted for purgery and sent to jail. Therefor she was smart enough to protect her own lie to prevent any purgery charges brought against her. In civil court, it’s about getting money without conviction. Herself included(for purgery). She is a lying piece of garbage and I can’t wait until she is proven wrong. The thing that bothers me the most is that endorsers are already threatening to drop Ben from any advertisements, if he goes through with fighting this case. So basically Ben would lose millions if he doesn’t settle out of court with this scum artist, and she knows it. Financially speaking, it would be wise for Ben to settle, IF those endorsers do threaten to exterminate any contracts and millions of dollars for a comparable measely $400,000 payoff. A big dent in Ben’s pocket if he loses those endorsements. I personally would like to see Ben fight this all the way and not settle just so all those crictics down that long road can’t say he’s guilty by suspicion. And a little FYI for all those critics out there and automatic judgements…in Ben Roethlisberger’s rookie year, the NFL threatened to fine him if he didn’t stop writing “PFJ” (Playing For Jesus) on his shoes and arm bands. Just leave the guy alone already, and his family’s name. I support Ben Roethlisberger.

I a guy from the 'burg and a Steeler fan. I have heard stories about Ben being arrogant (he's 26 and makes millions who wouldn't be) and a skin hound but never anything about assault. My guess and its only that, is that there was consensual sex and afterwards Ben told her to "get the f*ck outta my room you pig." Is it assault or rape no just being rude and stupid but she knew what she was going into the room for, it just didn't turn out the way she wanted. Ben be a gentleman and thank them, send flowers the next day and be on your way to the next conquest.
