Atlanta-based attorney David Cornwell released the following statement on behalf of Ben Roethlisberger:
"This weekend Andrea McNulty served Ben Roethlisberger with a civil complaint accusing him of sexually assaulting her in July 2008. Ben has never sexually assaulted anyone; especially Andrea McNulty. The timing of the lawsuit and the absence of a criminal complaint and a criminal investigation are the most compelling evidence of the absence of any criminal conduct. If an investigation is commenced, Ben will cooperate fully and Ben will be fully exonerated.
NFL training camps open in a week.
Professionally, Ben Roethlisberger was named the AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2004, and became the youngest Super Bowl–winning QB in NFL history in his second season, when he led the Steelers to a 21-10 victory over the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl XL at the age of 23.
Named to his first Pro Bowl in 2007, Ben Roethlisberger led the Steelers to a second Super Bowl title in four seasons this year as they defeated the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII, 27-23, after he made a game-winning touchdown pass to Santonio Holmes in the final 35 seconds.
