Story here. Excerpt:

'RENO, Nev. — The attorney for Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is rejecting a settlement offer by a former Nevada casino worker who claims the Super Bowl winner sexually assaulted her.

Roethlisberger attorney David Cornwell says the woman's offer is bizarre.

The woman wants Roethlisberger to admit to the allegations, apologize and donate $100,000 to the Committee to Aid Abused Women, a Reno nonprofit organization that offers support to domestic violence victims.

In a statement Wednesday, Cornwell says the proposal insults women who have legitimately suffered from sexual misconduct.'

I'm glad Rothlisberger and his attorneys are standing up to these ridiculous charges. This woman and her attorney are out of their minds and the case will get thrown out of court in short order. Too bad it will cost Rothlesberger time and money to defend himself against what clearly appears to be a false rape claim.

Let's hope he also pursues this woman through the courts once he has cleared his name.
