Attorney David Cornwell released a statement on Tuesday requesting the accuser to drop her sexual assault civil lawsuit against Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger. In a statement entitled “Andrea McNulty’s Own Words Prove She was Not Raped By Ben Roethlisberger,” Cornwell contends that McNulty’s online behavior is inconsistent with someone who had been sexually assaulted. (Via the Reno-Gazette Journal, a pdf of the statement can be found here.)
The statement includes various e-mails and online chats that McNulty was said to have had with “Ben Millikan” aka “Ben the Soldier” the online persona that Roethlisberger’s lawyers believe was McNulty’s fictious online soldier boyfriend. I’m an attorney with a background in both civil and criminal law, so I hope to sort out what some of this means for you.
