Roethlisberger Accused of Sex Assault

Police are investigating a Georgia woman's allegation that Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger sexually assaulted her at a nightclub. A team rep confirmed the investigation, the second involving Roethlisberger, 28, in less than 3 years. A Nevada woman sued him last summer, alleging he raped her at a hotel in Lake Tahoe in 2008, but no criminal charges were filed.

"Ben and his friends met a group of women and everyone mingled together throughout the evening," Roethlisberger's agent told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. "We have spoken to law enforcement. Based on information currently available, an allegation was made against Ben, which appeared to be dismissed after a preliminary investigation last night." But authorities in Milledgeville, 100 miles southeast of Atlanta, said the case is still open.
