| | | A judge has halted proceedings in the sexual assault lawsuit against Ben Roethlisberger pending the outcome of an appeal to the Nevada Supreme Court seeking a change of venue by the Steelers quarterback and one of his co-defendants. Washoe County Judge Brent Adams issued the stay Monday. The result is an indefinite suspension of the case in which a 31-year-old woman has accused Roethlisberger of raping her in his hotel room at Harrah's Lake Tahoe in July 2008 while she worked as a VIP hostess during a celebrity golf tournament.
