For the second time in less than a year, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is being accused of sexual assault. Yesterday afternoon, TMZ broke the story of Big Ben’s involvement in an incident which occurred at a nightclub in Milledgeville, Georgia. The story has since been reported by the national media after being confirmed by the Georgia police. The alleged victim, a 20-year-old female student from Georgia College & State University, was treated and released from the hospital on Friday morning.
The details of the night in question are still a bit hazy at this point, but what seems to be clear is Ben and a group of friends started the night drinking heavily at a bar called “The Brick” until about 1:30 a.m. They then moved on to another club, Capital City, where the incident allegedly occurred. Roethlisberger’s accuser claims she was in the ladies room when Ben entered and proceeded to assault her.
It sounds to me like Big Ben needs to put Little Ben on ice for a while…
