Seriously? The first case I wrote off as a money grubbing chick......this time, wow! Roethlisberger has issues......and I think its about entitlement. He feels he deserves everything and will get it. I have heard of stories of what a prick he is, that he eats at restaurants and walks out, etc.....all bout entitlement, just like ole Mr. Woods said. I am just shocked by the actions of the two cops with him. Totally inexcusable & I heard a rumor one has already resigned. I just keep thinking "What if this was my daughter he did this too?" The Steelers should trade this dirt dick ASAP. I would rather suffer through 5 years of Kordell Stewart again than root for a team with this shithead leading it. However,I do want to know two things still which may alter my view a little........

#1...Was that girl in the bar legally or illegally? Did Ben bring her in or was she already in there? Did he know she was underage if she was (not sure what legal drinking age is in Georgia).

#2... Did the girls follow Ben from bar to bar or was he predatoring after them?

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. -- The young woman who accused Ben Roethlisberger of sexual assault said she tried to get away from the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback and told him "no, this is not OK," according to police documents released Thursday.

In a statement to police on March 5, the 20-year-old college student said Roethlisberger encouraged her, and her friends, to take numerous shots of alcohol. Then one of his bodyguards escorted her into a hallway at the Capital City nightclub, sat her on a stool and left. She said Roethlisberger walked down the hallway and exposed himself.

"I told him it wasn't OK, no, we don't need to do this and I proceeded to get up and try to leave," she said. "I went to the first door I saw, which happened to be a bathroom."
Steelers: Roethlisberger to be punished

Pittsburgh Steelers president Art Rooney II says the team is ready to discipline Ben Roethlisberger but the punishment will be coordinated with the NFL and won't pre-empt any league action. Story


According to her statement, Roethlisberger then followed her into a nearby bathroom and shut the door.
"I still said no, this is not OK, and he then had sex with me," she wrote. "He said it was OK. He then left without saying anything."
In 500-plus pages of documents released Wednesday, Nicole Biancofiore, a friend of the accuser, told investigators from the Georgia Bureau of Investigations her friend, a student at Georgia College & State University, "was dragged by a bodyguard to the back room in Capital [City, a local nightclub]. She was extremely intoxicated and not aware of what was happening."

Two of the woman's friends said they saw the bodyguard lead her into the hallway and then saw Roethlisberger follow. They said they couldn't see their friend but knew she was drunk and were worried about her.

Ann Marie Lubatti told police she approached one of Roethlisberger's two bodyguards and said, "This isn't right. My friend is back there with Ben. She needs to come back right now."

She said the bodyguard wouldn't look her in the eye and said he didn't know what she was talking about. The GBI later identified that bodyguard as Ed Joyner, and the GBI also determined that the man who led Roethlisberger's accuser down the hallway was Anthony Barravecchio. Joyner is a Pennsylvania trooper and Barravecchio is an officer on the force in the Pittsburgh suburb of Coraopolis.

Attorney Michael Santicola, who represents Barravecchio but said Joyner also is a longtime friend, confirmed on March 10 that the two officers were present, but not in an official capacity. He said the two men are friends with Roethlisberger and did not witness any criminal activity or inappropriate behavior. He said the officers "have no memory" of meeting Roethlisberger's accuser.
Clayton: Rooney fumes

Ben Roethlisberger has two strikes against him in the eyes of Steelers ownership. The next off-field incident will be strike three, likely leading to a trade or release, John Clayton writes. Story


Lt. Myra A. Taylor, a spokeswoman for Pennsylvania State Police, said Thursday night the agency is getting a copy of the investigative report from Georgia authorities. "We will thoroughly review the report and determine if there is a violation of Department regulations on the part of Trooper Edward Joyner," she said.

Roethlisberger was not charged in the incident, which occurred in the early morning hours of March 5 in Milledgeville, a central Georgia college town about 30 miles from where Roethlisberger owns a lake home.

Ocmulgee Circuit District Attorney Fred Bright said Monday that after exhaustive interviews and inconclusive medical exams, the student's accusations could not be proved beyond a reasonable doubt. He also revealed the young accuser no longer wanted him to prosecute. Roethlisberger is being sued in civil court by a former Nevada hotel employee for an alleged sexual assault in 2008. No criminal charges were filed in that case.

According to the investigators' summary of events, Roethlisberger's friend Brad Aurila had a conversation with the quarterback when they returned to his house that night and asked him why police showed up at the nightclub. In an interview with police, Aurila said Roethlisberger told him nothing had happened and that he "was in the back with a girl and they were 'messing around.'" Aurila said he "took 'messing around' to mean 'kissing, whatever.'"

In her first statement to police hours after the incident, the woman said she and her friends first saw Roethlisberger at Velvet Elvis.
"He then met us at the Brick and called us a 'tease.' Eventually, we saw him at the Capital City and saw him there. We said 'hey' and he started talking to [redacted] [nothing in particular] and his bodyguard took him back to the room w/ bathroom," she wrote. "I said, 'I don't know if this is a good idea' and he said, 'It's OK.' He had sex with me and meanwhile his bodyguards told my friends they couldn't pass them to get to me."

Steelers WR Hines Ward shares his thoughts on the Santonio Holmes trade and the Ben Roethlisberger situation. Ward says the players will stand behind whatever decision the team makes regarding Roethlisberger.


<!-- end podcast -->In a second statement on March 5, the woman went into more detail about the encounters with Roethlisberger, saying that he made "crude, sexual remarks" when the two groups encountered each other at the second bar, before they went to Capital City.
There, Roethlisberger was surrounded by women, according to statements made by the accuser's friends.
"At the back of Capital City, the room was blocked off for him and females only," Nicole Biancofiore wrote in a statement to police.
After the accuser emerged from the bar and told Biancofiore and Lubatti about the encounter, the women left.
"I walked up to the first cop car we saw and told them what happened," Lubatti said in a statement.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is reviewing the matter and Steelers president Art Rooney II said Thursday that the league and team probably won't settle on any punishment until after next week's draft.
"When we get to the point where we have agreed with the commissioner on what that action will be, that's when it will be imposed," Rooney said. "After imposing an appropriate level of discipline and outlining the steps we feel will be necessary to be successful as a player and a person, we intend to allow Ben the opportunity to prove to us he is the teammate and citizen we all believe he is capable of being."
Rooney said the team is prepared to discipline Roethlisberger now, but will wait for the league's decision. Roethlisberger told him that he will accept the punishment, Rooney said.

Sparked partly by the Roethlisberger incident, Goodell sent a memo last week to NFL owners, executives and head coaches emphasizing the importance of the league's personal conduct policy. The memo was first reported by The New York Times.

"Unfortunately, in recent weeks there have been several negative incidents," the memo stated. "These incidents include subjects that we have previously identified as particularly troublesome, such as alcohol-related offenses, allegations of violence against women, and weapons offenses. ... The policy makes clear that NFL and club personnel must do more than simply avoid criminal behavior. We must conduct ourselves in a way that is responsible, that promotes the values upon which the league is based, and is lawful."
The Roethlisberger case has infuriated the Steelers.

"I have made it clear to Ben that his conduct in this incident did not live up to our standards," Rooney said. "We have made it very clear to Ben that there will be consequence for his actions, and Ben has indicated to us he is willing to accept those consequences."

guy is a prick, but a good football player.

i've heard a few stories from some buddies in Pitt. that he runs out on bar tabs all the time and he's snubbed a few special needs kids of visits in the hospital.

just not a good person imo.

He can't get laid because he has no class...

He acts like a frat boy in college... He needs to catch a severe beating and maybe then he will get it...

DEAR BEN,

Here's a tip, when giving your SECOND public statement surrounding a sexual assault case against you, try not to look like a rapist. I know its difficult for you and that you have come a long way from the Phat Farm dress shirts and Penny Hardaway high-tops look you had going when you first entered the league (I am willing to believe that the devil tee-shirt was borrowed), but couldn't you have at least shaved? Put on a three-piece suit? Not had a ridiculously greased back Rick Flair mullet? I was so nervous you were going to end your apology by screaming "WOOOOOOO!" that I almost didn't notice your total lack of sincerity. I've seen more heart felt apologies on Sober House II. Next time you allegedly assault a chick in a bathroom somewhere, you might as well let Dog the Bounty Hunter make your statement for you. The way your look is going, people may not even realize that a swap has been made. Just have him read it in the first person and tell him to think about dropping n-bombs to get him emotional.
All Bounty Hunting aside, I think we both know that there is only one way to make sure there isn't a next time Ben: STOP ACTING LIKE A JAGOFF!


Seriously dude, you have a 100 million dollar potential net worth, you are the face of the most storied franchise in football, and you live in a city where people literally rely on the Steelers for hope and happiness in their lives. No one is saying you can't have fun, but do you really need to be in a dirt bag college bar in some po-dunk town in Georgia getting blowies in a urine-puddled restroom? Your judgment is extremely questionable at best, and its time to take a look in that fogged up bathroom mirror that has confederate flag stickers and nazi quotes written all over it. You may not be guilty of rape, but you have to be responsible for the situations you put yourself in. You need to realize that your legacy and our collective future cannot afford to be put in some jager-bombed 20 year old's hands. So please STOP ACTING LIKE A JAGOFF!

20 year olds Ben? Really? I cant stand to be around drunk 20 year old chicks and I have a net worth of $153.00; they are annoying, stupid and can't be trusted. You need to adjust your scope and start sniping cougars.
An older woman will let you do the dirtiest things you can think of and ADD some crap you haven’t even thought of yet; then go over the playbook with you and give you a ride to practice the next morning. A cougar knows what's up and she is down to get filthy. You need a wily old vet who's battle-tested , not a skittish rookie who's never seen a regular season snap. 20 year olds got you into this mess Ben; cougars can get you out of it. But if you do decide to continue with the club hopping, for the love of Rod (woodson) STOP ACTING LIKE A JAGOFF!


The thing you don't seem to be getting Ben is that this isn't just about YOU anymore, it’s about US. When you put on that jersey like it or not, you become a part of this family, you become part of our history, you represent a nation that spans the globe. Its goes beyond sports with this team. If you treat it with respect and honor and play your hardest, you will always be a celebrity in this town. We will eat at your restaurant even if the food is terrible, we will buy your book even if its poorly written and we will donate to your charity even if it’s not our cause. (Hell, if you make a miraculous play we will put your statue next to the Father of our nation in the Airport). But you better be humble and appreciate the privilege of playing for this organization and representing this city. People here don't expect anyone to be perfect, but they do expect someone to fully appreciate the opportunities they are given. When they feel like someone is ungrateful at every turn and acting like they are above the family code, people get pissed off. You are not above this family Ben. Redd up your act and STOP ACTING LIKE A JAGOFF!!

With love,

Steeler Nation

Tiger Woods might be a dick, but at least he isn't going around raping people. Big Ben is a total scumbag, and i'm not sure how people can root for him as a fan.

The thing that really jumps out about this is the fact that he was supposedly calling this girl and her friends "teases" earlier in the night. They were probably either harmlessly flirting with him or maybe they turned him down, but I'm thinking it probably pissed him off because "I'm Ben Roethlisberger bitch!" how dare you turn me down! Like it was said before, his ego and sense of entitlement are so huge that he probably can't accept being rejected.

Doesn't this put a whole new spin on the first allegation that nobody seemed to believe? I believed that woman then and still do now. I think Ben's a serial rapist, plain and simple. I bet he's raped other times as well.

As a bengal fan and a Miami University alum I have always felt he was a D bag and this just solidifies it. However, the one good thing I can say about the steelers is they have one of the best owners in the NFL. I expect him to drop the hammer on rapistburger in form of shipping his ass out of dodge or suspending him.

I would love nothing more than for him to get traded to the Raiders
