Former basketball star DENNIS RODMAN has been accused of sexually harassing a hotel employee in Las Vegas.
Sara Robinson, a former bar manager at the Hard Rock Hotel, has filed a lawsuit against the sportsman over a March 2006 incident, claiming he slapped her on the bottom and rubbed himself against her at the resort. The lawsuit alleges, "As Robinson stepped around the bar, Rodman grabbed her, pulled her towards him and rubbed his body against hers.
"Robinson tried to get free from Rodman's grasp at which time he assaulted her by reaching down and slapping her open-handed on the bottom." The complaint, which seeks unspecified damages, also claims Robinson was fired unfairly by the Hard Rock chain after filing a statement detailing Rodman's actions following a separate incident at the same venue in April 2006, in which he is accused of 'causing a scene'.

oh boy...
knowing nothing else about this story, or about whether Rodman's got religion or how many other lawsuits she's been involved in, it looks like he's a goon and she's an opportunist. a match made in...well, you know what I mean.
What ever happened to telling someone knock it off.
Slapping a woman on the ass constitutes assault. Pretty much undermines the definition of assault. Whatever.
What happened to a woman trying to stick up for herself.
Rodman's a chump.
Lol. I've never heard that one before; that's funny.
Gee, I can’t believe that a member of the NBA would act in such a rude, childish and uncouth manner. I mean they’re all such gentlemen and so well educated and well mannered.
Absolutely NO sarcasm intended here at all. Oh, scuse me, I lied.
Rush even uses it from time to time, but I'm pretty sure that credit for originating this appellation for our 42nd President should go to Bob Grant.

Rodman is one of the reasons why the NBA became the basketball version of the WWE.
Rodmans a cheapskate...
If he wanted somebody to spank he could have hired someone....
or....if you are going to get sloshed and give bartender hard time...
at least leave a good tip.
Hope she got her shots after this encounter.
Here’s where you chime in.
Seeing as how I'm old, broke, tall, white and large, I can get away with harassing almost anyone almost anywhere.
Was already there, but you must have blinked.

Do you have any idea how big Rodman is? Like around 6'8" and 260 lbs? What is some 120 lb. woman going to do? NO WOMAN deserves this and the law is the only recourse for animals like him. After he rubbed his crotch against you and slapped your ass you'd just tell him to "knock it off", right?
You don't have any sisters or daughters do you?
