Hey ESPN.....

[gocowboys31]

Isn't Big Ben's alleged sexual assault newsworthy. Nothing on your website, or your 50 channels of programming. Yet, if this were an African American QB this would be everywhere. Some consistency BSPN, please!!!

^^^^^

Spare us the bullshit ok?  We don't know if the suit was dropped or anything.

They had no problem running with Kobe or Moss allegations. 

[Brian Fein]

They're too busy reporting that Brett Favre picked his nose this morning.

[fyo]

Seriously?

Hey Rev. Al Sharpton, did you forget about the Duke Lacrosse case?

Suggesting ESPN shows racial bias is RIDICULOUS....this skank is out to make a buck off of the NINE people she is accusing of this crime.

Are the 8 other suspects being accused along with Big Ben, Caucasian?....the only name I have heard so far has been Roethlisbergers.

[Defense54]

Seriously?

MY GOD! The only thing he should be accused of is Beastiality!

Those two people had criminal charges filed as the victims went to the police. This alleged victim waited a over a year to file a civil suit. Maybe he did, maybe he did not, but this smells fishy, especially with her claims she felt threatened by Harrah's if she went to the police.

Having skimmed the complaint and some other reading

1.  calling this suit against Ben R. for rape is a gross oversimplification.  He is not the primary target.  Which makes the likelihood that it is someone trying to shake him down highly unlikely. 

2. to gather the evidence necessary to persue the complaint would require quite a bit of time, probably with the defendant being wired and talking to the plaintiff to have evidence of a cover up.  this could not be done quickly and woud explain why the suit came out late.

3. the plaintiffs atty does not want to try it in the media. Very atypical for a shakedown.   

4. the plaintiffs atty is a reputable law firm.  Good attys don't take bad cases/shake downs.  Inexperienced desperate attys take bad cases.  The atty in the shakedown of Moss was out of law school only two years and working solo.   

I am thinking there probably is something here.

Sorry..........you can rationalize it anyway you want, but if the Pats actually do have a comeback season , Big Ben and Company is still gonna kick Tom Brady's ass   out of the Playoffs.

She used the excuse of a cover up as the reason she did not go to the police. So now she is able to have gathered more evidence in the last year than a criminal investigation would have? If Harrah's has the ability to prevent a criminal investigation, what are the odds this lawfirm is getting that much more. Plus the amount is fishy.

[TonyB0D]

it can't be covered because it's a CIVIL suit.  if he were actually charged with something, then it will be reported.

Law firms are often more zealous in an investigation than the police.  After all if they win they get a cut, if they lose it costs them money.  Cops don't have any motivation other than personal satisifacation of a job done well.  They get paid either way.  In a case of investigating if a hotel prevented an employee from reporting a crime, they will take a police report and that is it.  They are not going to attempt to get a witness on tape admitting to this etc.

I think the case is bullshit and all these "investigation" excuses are bullshit as well. The speculation going on in this thread is overwhelming.

The speculation that she is not lying is not different than the speculation that she is and that the complaint filed is bullshit.
