In the other case he was involved in, wasn't he out front vehemently denying everything at a press conference?

I think the case in that one was actually scheduled to happen close to now wasnt it? (Like I think the Nevada thing hadn't been settled yet in court i guess)

Who said that?

The only people talking, it seems, are doing so anonymously. KDKA-TV in Pittsburgh is reporting Roethlisberger told police he did not have intercourse with his accuser, a 20-year-old Georgia College and State University sophomore. The station said the two-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback had "contact" with the Georgia College and State University sophomore that "was not consummated," and afterward, she slipped and bumped her head.

His lawyer needs to be figuring out how to settle this in the least embarrassing way possible. "She hurt her head after blowing me" isn't going to cut it.

Seems like Ben isn't the only one not willing to speak to the police. And maybe the accuser isn't the squeaky clean angel as everyone has assumed.

From NFL.com:

Pittsburgh television station KDKA reported Wednesday that Roethlisberger's accuser has declined to speak with investigators since the night of the incident and skipped a scheduled meeting last week. One source told KDKA that the investigation appears to have hit a brick wall.

Cansino told the Tribune-Review that he gave authorities copies of a fake driver's license that Capitol City nightclub bouncers confiscated from Roethlisberger's accuser weeks before the alleged incident.

Cansino also said authorities told him the woman's blood-alcohol level was above 0.20 percent -- more than 10 times the legal limit for drivers younger than 21 in Georgia -- the night of the alleged incident. Cansino said he believes the woman obtained the alcohol from patrons, not nightclub employees.

I've always been told that you don't talk to the police about anything in either something you're being accused of or accusing someone else of unless you have an attorney present.

Also college students get drunk. I think that only factors in though she is either caught buying the booze herself or drives or something doesnt it? A girl getting caught with a fake ID to get into a club happens a whole, whole lot. It doesn't appear to be an issue which leads to a constant legal/state reprocussion

I think the bigger thing that's happening is how the detectives were reviewing the night club's videos, and they there were recorded over. That just seems, well weird (not suspicious/suspect, but weird):

Carl Cansino, the attorney for the Capital City nightclub in Milledgeville, Ga., said that he learned Thursday there is no remaining video. It was recorded over after detectives and the club's manager, Rocky Duncan, had watched it.

Cansino said that Milledgeville detectives tried to retrieve the video after it was recorded over, but were unable to. A Georgia Bureau of Investigations forensics team tried to retrieve it as well, but was also unsuccessful.

Cansino said the GBI told him Thursday that nothing on the tape is available at the present time.

Earlier Thursday, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review also reported that -- according to Cansino -- the GBI was unable to retrieve the footage as potential evidence.

i don't think you were attacking anything i said before, but it does not matter if she is a squeaky clean angel or not. she can be a complete screw up and still be a victim. it is unfair to discredit someone because of their past. but if she does not want to cooperate than maybe she is full of it. maybe she has fabricated this whole thing. i agree with lawyering up, anyone is a fool to not do so. after all this is not a traffic violation, but an accusation of sexual assault.

on the other hand if she is making this up than it is not cool to accuse someone of such a serious crime no matter what their past or who they are. as for guilt on either side, who knows at this point?

Sources: Ben Roethlisberger will not be charged - ESPN

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will not be charged after an investigation into accusations of sexual assault by a 20-year-old woman in Georgia, sources told ESPN.

Sources confirmed to ESPN's Kelly Naqi that District Attorney Fred Bright will announce on Monday that charges will not be brought against Roethlisberger. Bright said in a statement Friday he has reviewed all the investigation reports and will hold a news conference at 2 p.m. ET Monday.

Milledgeville police Chief Woodrow Blue said Wednesday his department and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation had wrapped up their investigation into a 20-year-old college student's claim that Roethlisberger sexually assaulted her early March 5 at a club in Milledgeville.

It was the second time in a year that Roethlisberger has been accused of sexual misconduct. He also faces a lawsuit filed last July by a woman who says he raped her in 2008 at a Lake Tahoe hotel and casino, an allegation he denies. Roethlisberger has not been criminally charged in either case and has claimed counter-damages in the lawsuit.

Roethlisberger did not report to Pittsburgh's offseason workouts last month. The next critical day for players is April 19, when on-field practice starts. Most of the team is expected to be on hand then.

well the official word is not out yet, but here's the news so far

I also kinda felt it would end up like this after the nightclub tapes were taped over (or whatever it was the owner did, i forget)

Maybe he should take a girl out on a few dates and act like he is interested in what the girl has to say like the rest of us have to.

No, he's been sued. Anyone can be sued for anything.

I think what he's getting at is this has happened to Big Ben before; and when these things keep happening, it means he's doing something that allows them to make these claims or suits (not that he assaulted someone specifically, note that i'm not saying that)

there's a good SI article on it I will link here after my class; pretty much what it says is that if these things keep happening to him, there's something in his behavior and actions he needs to sit down and look at and change before anything worse happens or it gets out of control

here it was, from earlier in the thread:

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/201...eagency/3.html


I think we all have to be careful about rushing to judgment on Ben Roethlisberger after he was accused of sexual assault by a 20-year-old woman in Milledgeville, Ga., near where Roethlisberger has an offseason home. It's the second time in seven months that a charge of sexual assault against Roethlisberger has come to light, the first coming from a Nevada woman last July.

So without being judgmental ... if Roethlisberger is without fault, it still is utterly preposterous he puts himself in these situations. If Roethlisberger is without fault, he has to re-think who he associates with, and he has to re-think whether it's a very good idea to be hanging around college bars at 2 in the morning. If Roethlisberger is at fault, the issues are entirely different. If he's at fault, he has got to grow up. So we'll see.

Please enlighten me with what he was sued for

If a suit equals a credible accusation then anything said by anyone at anytime is credible accusation since all it takes to file a suit is the filing fee.

Be so kind as to enlighten me to the meaning of "another" since the McNulty case is still pending. Wouldn't this be the first thing he "dodged"?

It's interesting how the DA worded it: "We don't have enough evidence to convince 12 jurors beyond a reasonable doubt." I got the impression that he thought Roethlisberger was guilty but it was too much of a "he said, she said" thing.
