Big Ben Named in Lawsuit
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has been accused of sexual assault in a civil lawsuit, but his lawyer is denying the accusation.
Roethlisberger is one of nine defendants listed in the online court docket report regarding the alleged incident in July of 2008 in Nevada.
In a statement released today, Roethlisberger's lawyer, David Cornwell, said 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 there is an investigation Roethlisberger will cooperate fully.
Steelers spokesman Dave Lockett says the team is aware of the lawsuit and is gathering information.
