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.
again.
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."
