Posted Under: Football Betting
Super Bowl Champion, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has been accused of sexual assault in a civil lawsuit, however his lawyer is denying the claim.
In a lawsuit filed on Friday in Washoe County Nevada District Court, Roethlisbeger is one of nine defendants being accused of assaulting a woman in July 2008.
“Ben has never sexually assaulted anyone,” said David Cornwell, Roethlisberger’s lawyer. “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.”
According to the court, Roethlisberger is looking at 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 intentional infliction of emotional distress.
