Ben Roethlisberger news: Andrea McNulty injects Jaycee Dugard into sex assault lawsuit against athlete
Although she filed no criminal charges, Andrea McNulty, a Nevada executive casino host and concierge alleges in a 2009 civil lawsuit that Steelers quarterback, Ben Roethlisberger sexually assaulted her in his Harrah’s Lake Tahoe hotel room in 2008. In new legal documents, filed against Harrah’s, McNulty injects kidnap victim Jaycee Dugard into the mix.
In her suit against the football player, McNulty claims he called her up to his hotel room under false pretenses to fix a television and then fondled, grabbed, and kissed her. She also said the football player blocked her way out of the room when she tried to leave, forced her onto the bed, removed her underwear, and then raped her.
McNulty also alleges in the suit that she reported the incident to the officials at Harrah’s Lake Tahoe Resort, but the organization had reached some sort of agreement not to investigate the alleged attack. She has now filed documents claiming the hotel forced her to resign from her concierge job.
She writes that as she was clearing out her desk at her place of employment, she came across the photo she keeps of Jaycee Dugard. McNulty alleges she kept the photo because “she [Jaycee] has been through such trauma but if you look closely she still has a twinkle in her eye.” She wrote the photo “gives her strength.”
Jaycee was abducted in 1991 at the age of 11 and was allegedly held captive for 18 years by convicted sex offender Phillip Garrido and his wife Nancy. Garrido allegedly raped Jaycee while she was still a minor and fathered her two daughters.
Roethlisberger adamantly denies McNulty’s claims and has filed a countersuit against her. The suit is now on hold as the court determines the proper venue for the case.
Recently, a woman in Georgia accused Roethlisberger of raping her in a nightclub bathroom, however, authorities announced there was not enough evidence to criminally prosecute the NFL star.

The only point I see to this article is to further elucidate that Andrea McNulty is not stable.
