A judge says the lawsuit against Lake Tahoe employees can continue for the woman accusing Ben Roethlisberger:

A Nevada judge has ruled that a woman who has accused Ben Roethlisberger of sexual assault can continue with her civil lawsuit against seven Harrah’s Lake Tahoe employees who, she said, covered for the Steelers quarterback. Lawyers for all the defendants, including Roethlisberger, responded with motions requesting that the case be dismissed. Last month, District 6 Judge Brent Adams in Reno denied those requests from Roethlisberger and former Harrah’s employee Stacy Dingman, who has hired a separate attorney and in a Wednesday ruling made public yesterday, the judge similarly denied the dismissal request from the other seven Harrah’s employees, advancing the defendants toward a possible court date.
