Woman suing Roethlisberger quit host job in casino

More than one year after filing a suit against the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger in Washoe District Court in Reno last July, the woman who filed the suit has quit her job because of the way the casino she worked for was treating her.

Having been working as a VIP host at Harrah’s Lake Tahoe, the woman alleged that the two-time Super Bowl champ lured her to his room under false pretenses and forced himself on her. After the alleged incident, the woman took several leaves of absence for medical reasons in the months after the alleged incident, but returned to work in March and had been there since. But the woman claimed that the Harrah’s officials conspired to cover up the incident, and she had to quit her job in the casino.

Roethlisberger has denied the allegations and lawyers for him and some Harrah’s officials filed motion to dismiss the suit but Judge Brent Adams denied the motion as well as the other motion of moving the trial to Douglas County near to Lake Tahoe.
