Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has been accused of sexual assault by a young woman in Georgia.
Officers said the alleged assault occurred early Friday morning in Milledgeville, about 85 miles southeast of Atlanta.
According to law enforcement sources, the alleged victim -- who has already been interviewed by police -- was treated at a local hospital and released.
"He's been identified as being at the scene and there are allegations naming him as the perpetrator," Deputy Chief Richard Malone said. Malone said Roethlisberger had been with three other people who were mingling with another group that included the alleged victim. Malone said the woman and her party contacted a nearby police officer following the alleged assault.

This is interesting, but we need to hear his side of it first before making judgment on this.
