PITTSBURGH, Aug. 19 (UPI) -- Lawyers for Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said e-mails from his accuser prove there was no sexual assault, as claimed by an unnamed woman.
E-mails sent by the alleged victim indicate she was keeping company with Roethlisberger after he allegedly assaulted her in Reno, Nev..
Attorney William Cornwell told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette the two-dozen e-mail and 150 instant messages released Tuesday proved there was no rape.
The newspaper said Wednesday that the messages from the woman, whose name was not revealed, described late-night partying and dinners with Roethlisberger and nothing about being attacked.
The woman's attorney had no immediate comment.
The Post-Gazette said Roethlisberger, who is being sued in a Nevada civil court, has been firing back at the plaintiff's mental state and reliability
