Roethlisberger Accused of Sexual Assault
The reputation of one of the National Football League's leading personalities took another hit Friday, with revelations that police in Georgia were investigating Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger in connection with an alleged sexual assault.
Police held a news conference Friday and didn't name Mr. Roethlisberger but delivered a physical description of him. They said they were investigating a sexual assault complaint filed by a woman the quarterback and his friends were socializing with Thursday night at the Capitol City Club in Midgeville. The woman was treated and released from Oconee Regional Medical Center.
"Last night, Ben and his friends met a group of women and everyone mingled together throughout the evening," the statement said.
