Accuser will drop rape charges against Roethlisberger if he does two things....

The woman who has accused Ben Roethlisberger of rape says she will drop the lawsuit if he agrees to two conditions. The first being the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard, he must admit he raped her and then apologize to her. Wait what? The man has vehemently denied that he raped her and that she is doing this just to get money so why would he admit that he raped her? It doesn't make sense and the only reason why she is doing this is because she wants to appear as if she is not about the money but they know that Ben is not going to bite on this, if he is innocent like he has said from the beginning then he is not going to admit it and apologize. There have been so many stories coming out from her co-workers and friends saying that she was excited and happy about her encounter with Roethlisberger plus her story is full of holes, this lady has no case and she is just trying to save some face and not appear to a money grubbing groupie.
The second condition is that he must donate $100,000 to the Committee to Aid Abused Women, which is a nonprofit organization in the Reno, Nevada area. I have no problem with this, I think Ben should do it anyway just to show that he has respect for women and takes the situation seriously. This is a serious allegation and when women do things like this, make up allegations of rape to get money, it ruins it for the woman who have really been raped.
I don't think this is going to effect Ben during the season unless the woman keeps throwing out allegations or if the facts of what really happened comes out and it turns out she is telling the truth, which shes not. Roethlisberger is known for shaking off the off field problems when it comes to game day and he will lead the Steelers like he has in the past and he will perform at a pro bowl level. If anything he will be more determined and focused to go out and keep his name above the mud and out of the headlines for anything not related to football. The Steelers open the season tomorrow against the Tennessee Titans.

GO STEELERS!
