Las Vegas NowBig Ben's accuser in suit quits Tahoe casino job

RENO, Nev. (AP) - The woman who filed a civil lawsuit accusing Ben Roethlisberger of raping her has quit her job at the Lake Tahoe hotel-casino where she claims the assault occurred in the NFL quarterback's penthouse room more than a year ago.
The woman had been working as a VIP host at Harrah's Lake Tahoe when she alleges the 2-time Super Bowl champ for the Pittsburgh Steelers lured her to his room under false pretenses and forced himself on her while he was in town playing in a celebrity golf tournament in July 2008.
Her lawyer, Cal Dunlap, said Friday she quit "because of the way Harrah's was treating her." He told The Associated Press he can't go into any details.
