Woman's affidavit supports Roethlisberger's denial of sexual assault

Article here. Excerpt:

'The Nevada woman who in a civil lawsuit accused Ben Roethlisberger of sexually assaulting her last year boasted to a co-worker at that time of having consensual sex with the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback and said she hoped he had impregnated her, according to a sworn affidavit filed in court in Washoe County, Nev., late Friday.

Shortly after telling former co-worker Angela Antonetti about the tryst during a celebrity golf tournament at Harrah's Lake Tahoe, where both worked as casino hosts, the 31-year-old woman "expressed to me she was hoping for a 'little Roethlisberger,'" Ms. Antonetti said in her affidavit.
...
Ms. Antonetti said she was "absolutely shocked" on July 21 when she heard on the radio that the woman had claimed Mr. Roethlisberger had assaulted her "because I knew [her] allegation ....was false.
...
"Because I knew that [her] lawsuit and false allegations would unfairly and unjustly hurt Mr. Roethlisberger, I wanted to set the story straight," she said in the affidavit, part of a motion filed by two other defendants to move the case from Washoe County to Douglas County.'

I've noticed the MSM has ignored this story ever since its become brutally obvious she's a gold digger with no regard for Roethlisberger's reputation and constitutional right for justice.

Duke Redux?

Duke Redux? Not exactly... but I get your sentiment there. While it might feel satisfying to see this apparent false accuser getting an appropriate amount of more critical attention from the MSM, the fact they are now dropping the story speaks volumes in itself. This is very good news for the defense since a rape accusation is by nature an attack on the reputation of the alleged rapist in the media and otherwise.

If this were Duke all over again the MSM would still be hounding the accused in league with some corrupt attention seeking state prosecutor etc... so perhaps we are seeing a degree of progress (albeit slow) in the media and a growing level of healthy skepticism (did you see? http://bleacherreport.com/articles/232415-attention-gold-diggers-the-false-rape-accusations-must-stop ).
