I DON'T THINK SO!
In July 2008, Pittsburgh Steelers' quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was at Harrah's in Reno for a personal appearance. Now, one full year later and absent any kind of timely criminal complaint with its attendant collection of fresh physical evidence (as in "rape kit") some female is claiming that he raped her when he was in Reno. How does this bimbo intend to prove her case? Is she counting on "he said/she said" to enable her to cash in on a Super Bowl champion's bank account? Does she have the equivalent of Monica's little blue dress in her back pocket? And what exactly - at this late date - would anything of that ilk prove?
Bottom line, my opinion is that this female was likely trying to extort money from Ben Roethlisberger by threatening to accuse him of this heinous act and he refused to be intimidated! So she was forced to put up or shut up or leave herself vulnerable to a charge of extortion! And no, I don't automatically believe her story simply because I am also a woman. Women have become way too prone to making false and sexually related claims to get their own way over the past 20 years. The Duke lacrosse players can testify to that painful fact. Is that what the women's movement was all about? Have we abandoned all semblance of decency and fair dealing with one another? I must be getting old!

If you read some of the statements made by the Duke faculty (the "gang of 88") about the lacrosse case, it would unfortunately appear that you are right: individual guilt or innocence becomes less important than the "cause". Because when a "cause" is involved, as someone has said, "some cases are too important for innocence to be allowed as a defense."
