Sounds like Big Ben is a rapist.
That's not true though. He has not been found guilty of anything yet. People can accuse all they like.
Yeah and OJ isn't a murderer either. :lmao:
He was found guilty in a civil suit so yes he is looked upon as a murderer.
Liable does not = guilty. Try again.EDIT: Anyway enough of this derailment. You are wrong, you can be a rapist/drug dealer/murderer etc. w/o being convicted of it in court.
Is there holding if no flag is thrown?
 
Probably just another psycho gold-digger trying to make a cash grab.
Funny how they always seem to pick on Ben.
The first incident was an absolute non-story. Just some crazy chick who gladly hopped into the sack with him, bragged about it after the fact, and then tried to get some money out of the whole ordeal. Pro athletes are targets for predatory women looking for a payday. Is Ben a sleazeball? Probably. That doesn't make him a rapist though. Barring some kind of extremely damning evidence, it will be his word against hers. He'll get the best lawyers money can buy and he'll walk with a slap on the wrist at most.

Did you guys even follow the other story? No criminal charges were ever filed.Ben's attorney David Cornwell just released a document containing emails and IMs, which he says were sent between Andrea and her fake online boyfriend "Ben the Soldier."

In the docs, Cornwell says Andrea sent one "light-hearted" email to fake Ben around 12:41 AM on July 12, 2008 -- which would have occurred a mere 1.5 - 2 hours after she claims the real Ben assaulted her.

Cornwell says the email "proves that, rather than crying in her truck in the parking lot, and driving away, distraught and crying [which she claims in her lawsuit] McNulty was back at her workstation sending light-hearted emails and engaging in benign chatter with her online boyfriend.

Then, on the afternoon of July 12 -- one day after the alleged incident -- Cornwell claims McNulty wrote, "This golf tournament has been really fun ... speaking of which I need to head over to a dinner with your lookalike [referring to Ben Roethlisberger] and a few others before heading out..."

Ben's lawyers claim she sent another IM to fake Ben in December of '08, saying "I would date Ben Roethlisberger."

Cornwell attached a press release with the emails that included some advice for Andrea -- "McNulty should abandon her lawsuit immediately and admit that Ben Roethlisberger did not rape her."

n the new legal papers, Roethlisberger's lawyer claims McNulty's attorney knew or should have known his client's suit was bogus. Roethlisberger wants McNulty's lawyer formally sanctioned by the judge -- which, among other things, could mean he would have to pay Roethlisberger's attorney's fees.

Roethlisberger's lawyer says the suit is "designed to harass and embarrass him [big Ben] and countless other individuals," adding the explicit content in her lawsuit is designed "to stir the prurient interests of the media and public."

Roethlisberger's lawyer says even a casual investigation of the facts would have proven McNulty to be a liar. Among other things, Roethlisberger's lawyer claims McNulty told a co-worker she wanted to have sex with Ben and she wanted him to get her pregnant. She also allegedly sent an email less than 24 hours after her sexual encounter with Ben, stating she was looking forward to having dinner with him.

And there's this -- Ben's lawyer cites a letter written by McNulty's attorney, which reads in part: "Our client is currently struggling with whether or not she wants to come forward and seek criminal prosecution of the celebrity."

Ben's lawyer wants the judge to throw the book at his legal adversary.

In the documents, Roethlisberger blames McNulty's "alleged problems -- lack of job security, need for medical benefits, need for treatment, increasing debt and lack of income" -- on her "inability to do her job" at Harrah's.

Roethlisberger explains, "[McNulty's] psychological breakdown appears to be the sad by-product of an affair with a married man whose wife apparently concocted a scheme to have [her] fall in love with a fictional soldier and be abandoned by him to create heartbreak and instability."

The document wasn't just an excuse to bash McNulty, Ben's lawyers have requested to move the case out of Washoe County, Nevada "for the convenience of all the parties and witnesses and in the interest of justice."

:tinfoilhat:Brady , the Mannings, Rivers,Ryan etc never seem to "run" into a crazy chick? Only Ben.
Brady - marriedEli - marriedPeyton - marriedRivers - marriedRyan - ?I don't doubt that Roethlisberger is a huge egomaniac and scumbag, but that doesn't make him a rapist. There are lots of desperate women who would love a piece of his paycheck. If he's out there "playing the field" and taking lots of different girls home, it's only a matter of time until he runs into a bad one.

I don't think he's a rapist. He's just not good at decision making in real life. And by not good at decision making I mean dumb as a stump.

I think he's porking everything that moves. And in this day and age, this is what you're going to get if you do that and you're famous.

This.If he didn't figure out that his beer goggling days were over after the first incident, that pretty much proves he's about as knucklehead-y as they come.Your clubbing days are over Ben(should have been a year ago). Accept it.If he IS guilty of either allegation, then screw him. I will personally hire a sassy, elderly, black lady to point at a picture of Ben and shout "F@#@# THAT guy!!"
 
Barring some kind of extremely damning evidence, it will be his word against hers.
The alleged victim has been treated for something. Sure, it doesn't mean much until we know what she was treated for, but I think that's more than the previous case.
 
well there is quite a bit of talk from players in pittsburgh that ben isn't the most liked guy in the locker room by any stretch.

he seems rather full of himself to me.

 
This report says the woman told police she was in the women's restroom, Ben came in and assaulted her. Does sexual assault equate to attempted rape, or something less? I dunno. Apparently it seems there was no actual sex that took place, unless it's just not being reported that way.

http://www.playerpress.com/articles/7823-b...l-assault-again

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has been accused of sexual assault by a woman who said the incident happened inside the women's restroom of a Georgia nightclub. The name of the women has not been released.

The woman told police that she was inside the restroom of the nightclub “Capital City” in Milledgeville, Georgia, when Big Ben entered the restroom and allegedly assaulted her early Friday morning.

According to police sources, the women has been questioned by police and then she was taken to a local hospital, where she was treated and released.

Police and the Georgia Bureau of Investigations are both involved in the investigation and are interviewing additional witnesses as well. They have also talked with Roethlisberger concerning the alleged incident, but no formal charges have been filed against him and he has not been charged with a crime at this time.

This is not the first time that a women has accused Rothlisberger of sexual assault.

Roethlisberger is also being sued by a Reno Nevada woman, Andrea McNulty, who has made claims that the QB sexually assaulted her in 2008.

Whether or not these women have actually been assaulted by Rothlisberger or are just trying to cash in on his fame and wealth is yet to be determined.
 
Sexual assault can mean a lot of different things, rape being one of them. Sounds like very bad judgement or a serious character issue.

Detectives with the Milledgeville Police Department in Milledgeville, Ga., will not interview Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger until Monday at the very earliest, according to an MPD spokesperson.

No arrests are immediately pending following an alleged sexual assault involving Roethlisberger and a woman early Friday morning at a Milledgeville nightclub. The incident reportedly took place in a back hallway of Capitol City nightclub, a popular college hotspot that's located two blocks away from Georgia College & State University. According to a press release, "The Milledgeville Police Department is currently investigating a case of sexual assault...Investigators are interviewing the victim and witnesses and collecting evidence at the time. The victim was treated and released earlier (on Friday) at the Oconee Regional Medical Center in Milledgeville." Roethisberger was briefly interviewed by MPD officers shortly after the incident.

Roethlisberger owns a home on nearby Lake Oconee, which is located roughly 30 minutes north of downtown Milledgeville.

I dunno. As a member of the Steeler faithful, I'm pretty torn up over this.

After the first issue, you hope nothing comes of it, and give the guy the benefit of the doubt.

After the second, you sort of have to start thinking that where there's smoke, there's fire.

Yeah, he's a young, single rich guy. Yeah, there are women out there who will throw themselves at athletes then scream sexual misconduct. But it happens rarely enough that you've got to take it seriously. And it happens to the same guy twice in a year...well, pretty much never, unless it later comes out the guy's a real ####.

I really, really, REALLY hope it comes out that the whole thing is clearly and most assuredly a put on, or a media grab, or a desperate plea for attention. But if it even remains just "murky" (never mind what happens if it actually has legs), I hope Pittsburgh distances themselves from B.B. in a hurry. Trade him for pennies on the dollar...whatever. As a fan, the integrity this team has typically shown and always prides itself on means a lot more to me than short term title chances. Give me the squeaky clean scrub over the entitled deviant superstar thug...if that's what he turns out to be. I'll be first in line for my Dixon jersey, and will be very proud of my 5-11 Black and Gold.

 
:goodposting:Brady , the Mannings, Rivers,Ryan etc never seem to "run" into a crazy chick? Only Ben.
Brady's busy banging supermodels. The Mannings *HAVE* had incidents with women- the University of Tennessee paid Jamie Ann Naughright $300,000 and Peyton Manning reached an undisclosed settlement with her over a sexual harassment suit- it's just that nobody remembers it. Matt Ryan and Philip Rivers are both still pretty anonymous on a national scale.Anyway, I'm not familiar enough with the details of this new case to say one way or another what happened. But I do know that I'm not going to start making any half-cocked assumptions until I get some of those details, and I also know I've read enough of the first case that the only thing I'm holding against Ben is the fact that he didn't do a background check before engaging in consensual sex.

Is that the reporter that get her face shoved into Manning's ### just before a lockerroom interview? I vaguely remember something like that

Roethlisberger accused of sexual assault again

Friday, March 05, 2010

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is being investigated in Georgia for an alleged sexual assault of a woman at a dance club.

Police in Milledgeville, Ga., a city about 100 miles southeast of Atlanta, said in a news release today that they were investigating a case of sexual assault that was reported earlier today. The news release didn't mention Mr. Roethlisberger, but the quarterback's agent, Ryan Tollner, confirmed this afternoon that an allegation had been made against Mr.Roethlisberger.

"Last night, Ben and his friends met a group of women and everyone mingled together throughout the evening," Mr. Tollner said. "We have spoken to law enforcement."

Mr. Tollner said he understood that the allegations "appeared to be dismissed after a preliminary investigation," but Milledgeville police say they still are investigating.

They were interviewing the woman and collecting evidence, the police department said.

The incident is alleged to have occurred at Capitol City, a club in Milledgeville.

The alleged victim was treated and released at the Oconee Regional Medical Center in Milledgeville.

Assisting local police with the investigation is the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, a statewide police agency that has an office in Milledgeville.

The Steelers today acknowledged there is an investigation.

"We're gathering information on the report and we will have no other comment at this time," a team spokesman said.

In July 2009, a 31-year-old Nevada woman accused Mr. Roethlisberger in a lawsuit of raping her in his hotel room at Harrah's Lake Tahoe in July 2008 while she worked as a VIP hostess during a celebrity golf tournament.

The woman also has sued several current or former Harrah's employees, alleging that they tried to cover up the incident.

Mr. Roethlisberger denied the charges and the civil suit has been halted since late last year pending the outcome of an appeal to the Nevada Supreme Court seeking a change of venue by the Steelers quarterback and one of his co-defendants.

No criminal charges were filed in the Nevada case.

Mr. Roethlisberger spends much of the off-season at a home he owns in a resort community in Greensboro, Ga., an hour north of Milledgeville.

After the woman in Reno and now this, we're looking at some serious stuff here. I agree with Gheemony that the knucklehead factor really needs to be considered when it comes to viewing Ben's future fantasy value. I'm not sure this one will be swept under the rug like the alleged Reno rape was. I'd be a very concerned owner if I had him on a dynasty roster right now. There could ultimately be a prison sentence at some point. I know he's a big shot and that probably makes it unlikely, but it's happened before (Mike Tyson).
You can be concerned all you like but right now you can't do anything about it. Either he's guilty of doing something and he's going to get in trouble or he's the victim of a girl crying wolf.If he's guilty, he'll go to jail. My money is on Ben not doing it and he needs to be a little smarter in what and who he's doing in his off time.
 
Sounds like Big Ben is a rapist.
That's not true though. He has not been found guilty of anything yet. People can accuse all they like.
Yeah and OJ isn't a murderer either. :confused:
He was found guilty in a civil suit so yes he is looked upon as a murderer.
Whether he is a murderer or not has nothing to do with whether he was found guilty of murder or not. OJ was still a murderer when he was found not guilty.

Witnesses work both ways. Ben was said to be out with a bunch of friends.

Yes, sexual assault can include something like grabbing a girl's butt. In fact, if an incident is being described as sexual assault rather than rape, it's probably something like groping or grabbing.

Unless he didn't do anything - or they corroborate that he didn't do anything.
 
The Mannings *HAVE* had incidents with women- the University of Tennessee paid Jamie Ann Naughright $300,000 and Peyton Manning reached an undisclosed settlement with her over a sexual harassment suit- it's just that nobody remembers it.
Probably because there is a pretty huge difference between mooning someone and sexually assaulting someone.
 
1. Guilty or not, it shows bad judgment. Why put yourself any where near this type of situation? For me, "knucklehead factor" includes bad judgment because bad judgment in one area may mean bad judgment in other areas. Actually, we know he's show bad judgment re women and motorcycles.

2. Being married didn't stop Tiger. Not sure why a married star shouldn't get credit for having the good judgment to stay away from trouble just because he's married.

Mooning? Funny, I've never heard of a type of mooning that involved shoving the victim's face into your ###. In fact, there is absolutely no difference between what Manning was accused of and sexually assaulting someone, although technically the victim never brought assault charges against Manning (she brought harassment charges against UT for allegedly fostering a culture where that behavior was acceptable, and defamation charges against Manning for allegedly lying about the incident in his book).I'm not saying that Manning did it, or didn't do it, I'm just saying that Peyton Manning has allegedly sexually assaulted a woman, too, same as Roofles.
 
He'll get the best lawyers money can buy and he'll walk with a slap on the wrist at most.
Ben will either walk away scott free or he'll get more than a slap on the wrist. He'll only get the slap if he pleas to criminal charges. Ben's not going to do that. If it goes to trial and Ben gets convicted of sexual assault charges there's no way that district is going to want to look like a Bunch of ####### nationally. And that is a legal term.This was awesome...
Little Ben needs to stop calling plays.
... and true. :thumbup:

The article says she was treated at a hospital afterwards. If he did anything I think it was probably more than a butt grabbing.

Hedley Lamarr: Qualifications?

Ben: Rape, murder, arson, and rape.

Hedley Lamarr: You said rape twice.

Ben: I like rape.
