"Attorney for [NFL Star] Ben Roethlisberger Rejects Settlement Offer In Lawsuit"
...Roethlisberger attorney David Cornwell says the woman's offer is bizarre.
The woman wants Roethlisberger to admit to the allegations, apologize and donate $100,000 to the Committee to Aid Abused Women, a Reno nonprofit organization that offers support to domestic violence victims.
In a statement Wednesday, Cornwell says the proposal insults women who have legitimately suffered from sexual misconduct.

Roethlisberger and his lawyers deny the woman's allegations. They demanded in an Aug. 19 settlement letter that she drop the lawsuit and write a letter of apology to the quarterback [Ed.]. In return, Roethlisberger would release both the woman and Dunlap from any legal liability stemming from the "conspiracy to extort and defame" him.
