SHARE Ben Roethlisberger accused of sexually assaulting woman

For the second time in nine months, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has been accused of sexually assaulting a woman.

A 20-year-old student at Georgia College & State University in Milledgeville has filed a sexual assault report, alleging that Roethlisberger was the perpetrator. The incident allegedly took place inside a nightclub late Thursday night or early Friday morning.

Roethlisberger is cooperating with the authorities, according to his agent.

He has already stood accused of raping a hostess at a Nevada resort during a July 2008 golf tournament in Lake Tahoe.

That woman never went to the police, but rather sued Roethlisberger. That suit is currently on hold while a change of venue motion is considered.
