Roethlisberger investigation continues

Football Betting Lines

03/08/2010 - Milledgeville, GA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Milledgeville police chief Woodrow Blue said Monday at a brief press conference that arrangements are being made to interview Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who was recently accused of sexual assault.

Blue said that the department has been in touch with Roethlisberger's attorney, and that Roethlisberger is cooperating. Blue did not get into details of the case, only saying it is still in the investigative stage.

Georgia Bureau of Investigation special agent Tom Davis said he anticipates conducting about eight interviews over the next few days, and said the accuser has legal representation. Davis also did not disclose much about the case.

The alleged incident took place Thursday night at Milledgeville club Capitol City. Roethlisberger's agent confirmed Friday to the Pittsburgh Post- Gazette that the allegation had been made.

The alleged female victim was treated at the Oconee Regional Medical Center in Milledgeville and released.

Steelers president Art Rooney II released a statement Monday about the situation.

"All of us in the Steelers family are concerned about the recent incident involving Ben Roethlisberger in Georgia," the statement said. "We cannot comment on any of the specifics until law enforcement's investigation is concluded. Certainly, we will continue to closely monitor the situation."

Last July, the quarterback was accused in a lawsuit of raping a 31-year-old woman in a hotel room in Harrah's Casino in Lake Tahoe. Roethlisberger denied the allegations and no criminal charges were filed.

The lawsuit was put on hold late last year pending the outcome of an appeal to the Nevada Supreme Court.

Roethlisberger owns a home in Greensboro, Georgia and spends much of the NFL off-season at the location, which is approximately one hour from Milledgeville.
