RENO, Nev. – The lawyer for a former Nevada casino worker who has accused Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger of sexually assaulting her says his client will drop her civil lawsuit if he acknowledges the rape and apologizes.
Attorney Cal Dunlap says in a letter to Roethlisberger’s lawyers that his client would also like the quarterback to donate $100,000 to the
Committee to Aid Abused Women, a Reno nonprofit organization.
The woman filed the suit in July accusing the Super Bowl-winning quarterback assaulted her in 2008 in a hotel across the street from a golf course where he was playing in a celebrity tournament.
Dunlap says the offer is designed to counter claims made by Roethlisberger’s lawyers that his client only filed the lawsuit to get money.
