THE ACCUSER AND HER FRIENDS

She claimed that a bodyguard escorted her to a hallway and that Roethlisberger had sex with her in a nearby bathroom.
- Ann Marie Lubatti: A friend of the accuser, she said she saw a bodyguard lead her friend to a door, and Roethlisberger followed less than a minute later. She went to Joyner and told him she wanted to see her friend, but Joyner would not look her in the eye and said he didn't know what she was talking about.
