RENO, Nev. (AP) -- Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has been 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 on Friday. Andrea McNulty is listed as the plaintiff.

Details of the suit were not available late Monday night. Roethlisberger was one of nine defendants listed in the online court docket report.

Roethlisberger's attorney released a statement to several media outlets Monday night saying the two-time Super Bowl winner was accused of sexual assault in the lawsuit by McNulty. Atlanta-based attorney David Cornwell denied Roethlisberger sexually assaulted McNulty.

"This weekend Andrea McNulty served Ben Roethlisberger with a civil complaint accusing him of sexually assaulting her in July 2008. Ben has never sexually assaulted anyone; especially Andrea McNulty. 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. If an investigation is commenced, Ben will cooperate fully and Ben will be fully exonerated," Cornwell said.

A phone message and e-mail from the AP to Cornwell were not immediately returned.

Attorney Calvin R. Dunlap, of Reno, filed the suit, according to court documents. A telephone message left for him was not immediately returned.

One of the pains of being a big name star... wonder where and at what time of day this all took place. Not that it matters for the most part, the guy should be free to do what he likes... but, you have to watch where you go and who you're around.

Winner.

It's impossible. We have so many lazy shits in this country looking for a handout that there is no reason to even bother. Just pay a retainer fee and always have someone on the clock.

Is that how the broncos stay out of trouble? :)

Nine of them assaulted her and she didn't call the cops? Yeah, right.

The probably whistled at her and her sensible self was offedned once she found out who they were and realized she could get paid. Of course analysis of her britches will probably find 12 different semen donors.

It's SOP

I find this line somewhat amusing.

ROFL For some reason, this made me laugh.

me too

translated:

"and if he did assault someone, it sure as hell wouldn't be her..."

Dang...beat me to it. :D

Rumor has it that the others named in the suit are employees of the hotel where the alleged assault took place. Not necessarily that they assaulted her themselves but perhaps helped in a cover up or something like that. I haven't read of specifics yet.

She must be an uggo.
