Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said a Nevada woman’s claims of sexual assault are “reckless” and “outrageous” and said he would fight the civil lawsuit filed in Washoe County.
“I would never, ever force myself on a woman,” he said during a Steelers practice Thursday.
Roethlisberger’s accuser, 31-year-old Andrea McNulty, also claimed she was pressured by Harrah’s co-workers to drop her case.
The casino company denied those claims in a statement released to the Web site TMZ.com
