In a complaint that reads like the rape allegations made several years ago against NBA star Kobe Bryant, Harrah's employee Andrea McNulty alleges sexual assault against Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger in a lawsuit filed last week in Washoe County, Nevada.

But lawyer David Cornwell strongly denied the allegations Monday night, in a statement released to PFT. "Ben has never sexually assaulted anyone; especially Andrea McNulty," Cornwell said.

In the civil suit, which Cornwell confirms was served on Roethlisberger over the weekend and a copy of which our own Gregg Rosenthal has obtained, McNulty alleges that Roethlisberger asked her to come to his hotel room to fix the television, and that he thereafter forced her to have sex with him.

Roethlisberger faces one civil count of assault, one civil count of sexual assault and battery, one civil count of false imprisonment, one civil count of false pretenses, one civil count of fraud, and one civil count of intentonal infliction of emtional distress.

McNulty also claims that the coworkers named in the complaint thereafter defamed her by making allegedly false and inflammatory statements, and by allegedly serving as aiders and abettors of Roethlisberger's alleged misconduct after the fact.

Cornwell, a finalist for the position of NFLPA Executive Director who has represented in the recent past Saints running back Reggie Bush and Browns receiver Donte' Stallworth, points to the fact that no criminal complaint has been filed, and that no criminal investigation has occurred.

"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," Cornwell said. "If an investigation is commenced, Ben will cooperate fully and Ben will be fully exonerated."

It's unknown at this point whether McNulty ever has attempted to file criminal charges as a result of the incident, which allegedly occurred in July 2008.

"Ben will not be baited into a public discussion about his personal life, but we will defend

him vigorously," Cornwell said. "The limited value that Ms. McNulty derived from public disclosure of these viciously false allegations is the only value she will ever receive from Ben in this case."

Regardless of how this one turns out, it has the potential to serve as a significant distraction for Roethlisberger as the 2009 season approaches, especially if the lawsuit triggers a criminal probe.

I don't even think Tyson commited Rape on that girl...He was an innocent man in Prison, maybe thats why he went nuts...he was always messed up, but being innocent in Prison can make you CRAZY...I bet.

What type of girl goes in a Limo with a Boxer...Then GOES up to the Hotel with him? What? To bake cookies? Yeah right...Tyson never raped that woman

LOL - just another scummy whore.

They definitely did it and she just cried rape after. Looking for some money...

Too bad for Ben however. Plus, I could never see him doing something like that.

Yes, she must be a whore! :rolleyes:

You know Ben personally?

Listen, I agree with you - sort of. I find it curious (and damning) that a criminal complaint was never filed.

btw - what a bunch of crock that every athlete gets accused of rape at least once during their career. For every accused - I'll show you 50 unaccused. Please.

The fact that she didnt file a criminal complaint makes me think she's only in it for the money.

She got raped and violated and she's more worried about getting paid, hence the measly lawsuit.

But who knows, she might not be lying. However Ben is innocent before proven guilty.

Hey...Big Ben could be a sick man behind the money and fame and he could have commited Rape but I'm just not buying it right now...Not my place to judge because I know nothing right now.

Same with Mark Sanchez...Who says he didn't rape that girl back in the day? People do sick things...It happens.

No...why does this matter? He comes across as a good guy. I'd be very surprised if he raped her.

I agree with you...I've never met Big Ben, I have no idea what type of person he really is inside of his own thoughts, but I just find it hard to believe that he would "Rape" a girl and risk all he's ever worked for in life you know?

Why would a SB winning QB ever have to rape a girl to get a piece of tail? Come on...

Same as Kobe....Yeah, he may have cheated on his wife which is dead wrong and sad but...Why would he "Rape" a girl when he had a wife to get it from? Just doesn't make any time of sense to me...

Did you just type that you get some when you are married? :rl:

Any married man would laugh you out of the building if you said that with a straight face!

Why do 50% of wives/husbands cheat? (Most recent numbers)

I forget the Comedian who said it, but once I was watching HBO/Comedy Central, one of those two, and the Comedian said he used to buy a 12 pack of Condoms for the weekend. Now that he's married, that's good for an entire year.

A YEAR after. Couldn't agree more with your post. Strickly a money grab by the sound of it.

21 year old* and once again, the age card is played, like it means something.

People on this site, and married men all over, say the same exact things, so I don't really need to hear it from YOU.

Wow...I'm going to go ahead and steer clear of this grease fire.

Jokes about Roethlisberger aside, if this were a real rape, she would've came out with it as soon as it happened. Don't want to hear this crap about "well maybe she was scared". Bull****. BULL****. It is simply someone looking for a big payday to retire on. I don't like Ben as a player at all, but I wish him luck in this ongoing investigation and I'm sure in the end it will be proven that there was no harm done. Unless of course they did have consentual sex and Ben has a huge penis. Then her vagina may be torn.

That argument is only made by the borderline literate when they have nothing else to say. It's a good razor to use to see whose opinions should be wholly disregarded.

Also, ps17 don't make assumptions until the facts are known. We don't know Ben on a personal level and it is possible he could be guilty of this. I believe in the legal system and I'm sure justice will be done either way. :D

if you have a wife that loves you, believe me you...your getting the snatch 2-3 times a day/night. Woman love it just as much as men but this is a sports site, shouldn't be talking about this but...Who ever told you that married couples dont get down like crazy, they lied to you

The only time a man stops getting the action, is when he marrys the girl and then becomes a different man down the line...As long as you stay as the same man that she fell in love with (Which is simple, just be yourself) Then everything will be solid...It's when the man changes...Thats when he sleeps in the other room

So married people lie? Interesting. The married people who are doing it 2, 3x a day/night are about 1% of the population of married people, I'd say. Easily.
