Steelers QB Accused of Rape

Casino worker sues Ben Roethlisberger.

Hotel concierge worker Andrea McNulty has filed a civil suit against Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger accusing him of raping her in a penthouse suite at a Lake Tahoe casino last year. McNulty said that last July she worked as a concierge during a celebrity golf tournament that Roethlisberger attended, the New York Post reports. McNulty alleges that Roethlisberger asked her for help with his television, but that after she established that his TV was working fine, he blocked her exit from the room and raped her. McNulty says she did not go to the police under pressure from the hotel, and quoted the hotel's chief of security as saying, "Most girls would feel lucky to get to have sex with someone like Ben Roethlisberger." Roethlisberger's lawyer vehemently denied the allegations.
