Boston attorney Harry Manion joined the Dennis & Callahan show Tuesday morning and said that he was recently involved in an investigation into an incident involving Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger that was similar to last month's situation at a Georgia nightclub for which Roethlisberger faces a possible suspension from the NFL. "Six months ago I was retained by a client of mine and a close friend to investigate allegations against Ben Roethlisberger in a Las Vegas nightclub that were absolutely identical to this Georgia girl's story," said Manion, a partner at the firm of Cooley Manion Jones, LLP and a frequent guest of WEEI. "The outcome was that the young woman did not want to proceed, and we did not take any action. There is a history here and I can't say any further because we never proceeded with it, but there is a history here that is just super troubling." The Georgia case marks the second time in a year that Roethlisberger has been accused of sexual misconduct and also faces a lawsuit filed last year by a woman who says he raped her in 2008 at a Lake Tahoe hotel and casino, an allegation the quarterback denies, but has not been criminally charged in either case and has claimed counterdamages in the lawsuit. Manion said this latest incident should be the wakeup call that finally gets Roethlisberger to clean up his act. "Unless he's totally brain dead, and we don't know, he would be scared," Manion said. "Because he has really walked a perilous line here. There's a whole litany here, not only my experience, I have connected with several other people that have experience. And you know, there's only so far that he said/she said will get you. There's only so far that paying hush money will get you, if hush money is paid. And there's only so far that, 'Gee, we're celebrities, we have a target on our back,' will get you. When you see this much smoke, month after month and continuously. It's the scene that he's gotten himself caught up with, and the belief that he can walk, and so far, so good. But it's hurting him. He's hurt. He has been damaged. And the next one, the wrath of God's going to come down on him, if there is a next one." Source: WEEI Boston
Thank God this isn't a case of some unknown Boston attorney spouting innuendos just trying for his 15 minutes of fame... :icon_smile:
You'd think he would be better about getting his rocks off. Wouldn't think the assault part would be necessary. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tArmHN4j3qQ
apparently god goes by the 3 strike rule Hes INNOCENT!!!! haha **********Automerged Doublepost********** they keep shooting these s*x assault bullets at him and hes just dodging them like he has an oline in shambles in front of him and defenders chasing him all around but damnit he just keeps his eyes down field lol
If his o-line could protect as well as his attorneys, he'd easily throw 50 TDs in a season...no doubt. Love Rapelisburger!!! lol... btw - i heard clips of the attorney...sounds like a bad cartoon character... Why bother announcing this if theres no case...lol.
get the heck outta here with this horsecrap. Ben needs to borrow Hines Ward's hyperbaric chamber and he's only allowed out for gameday and escorted back to the chamber after the game.
While I dont doubt this, I'm just troubled by the fact that AFTER everyone is said and done with this issue, he wants his 8 seconds of fame.
Like the prosecutor said, Ben needs to grow up....he's being a total idiot and I hope he at least gets suspended for being one.
3rd times the charm? Rapelisburger is destroying the SteAler's legacy at this point. As much as I dislike them there has never been any doubt that they have been an elite franchise worthy of respect but BOY has that changed this offseason. Any bets for how many sexual assaults this peace of crap will be accused of before he's bounced out of the league? 5? 6? 10?
