A hotel employee in Nevada has filed a civil suit accusing Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger of sexual assault. ProFootballTalk.com reports that Roethlisberger was served the suit over the weekend.
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.
The employee, Andrea McNulty, alleges that Roethlisberger forced her to have sex with him in his hotel room in July 2008. According to PFT, it is unknown if McNulty attempted to file criminal charges.
David Cornwall, Roethlisberger's lawyer and a finalist for the position of NFLPA executive director, issued a statement to PFT in which he denied the charges.
"Ben has never sexually assaulted anyone; especially Andrea McNulty," Cornwell said.
