Lawsuit Filed Against Ben Roethlisberger
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) ―

It's an out-of-the blue report that broke on the internet several hours ago. Ben Roethlisberger is facing ugly accusations in a lawsuit filed in Nevada.

Within the past hour, via the Steelers, KDKA received a response from Roethlisberger's lawyer.

"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."

At this point, we don't know the specifics of the lawsuit or what Roethlisberger's relationship was, if any, with the woman bringing the suit.

The news of the suit broke online Monday night and the Steelers are sending out that response from Roethlisberger's lawyer.
