PITTSBURGH (AP)—The attorney for Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger(notes) 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.
In a statement Wednesday, Cornwell says the proposal insults women who have legitimately suffered from sexual misconduct.
The woman sued the Super Bowl-winning quarterback in July, accusing him of assaulting her in 2008 in a hotel across the street from a golf course where he was playing in a celebrity tournament.
