Big Ben Roethlisberger Update

Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterback, Ben Roethlisberger is being accused of sexual assault of  a 20-year-old college student in a nightclub south of Atlanta on March 5.  Now the fine, Milledgeville police have requested a DNA sample from the Super Bowl champ.

Milledgeville police Chief  Woodrow Blue accompanied by Georgia Bureau of Investigation agent Tom Davis announced the request along with other details Monday evening. Blue states the player is being cooperative, and will comply with a DNA test.

The young lady in question claims that Roethlisberger assaulted her Friday in the bathroom of a nightclub. She reported the assault to a patrol officer outside the club and was immediately taken to a local hospital for an examination.

Milledgeville police say they are also studying security videos from the club. Ben was questioned by the police at the scene and was released to leave the state. The hell?

“The facts show that there was no criminal activity. No sexual assault occurred,” Roethlisberger’s Atlanta attorney Ed Garland said in a statement Monday. “Ben is completely innocent of any crime.”

A witness in the case also spoke to a local paper.

A bartender who is familiar with the accuser, told the Union-Recorder that the alleged victim was with Roethlisberger most of the night including stops at the Velvet Elvis and The Brick, two other local bars.

“It wasn’t like he grabbed just some girl,” said Scott Eady. “She was with him all night.”

You know after a while of hearing the same stories about a person, you can’t help to start believing some of this stuff is true. This is the second time a woman has accused Roethlisberger of sexual assault. Maybe it’s time for ol’ Ben to stay his ass at home. Or maybe bring the party to his house. Or something.
