Ben Roethlisberger Accused of Assault Again – 2nd Sexual Assault Claim.  “Big Ben”, quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers is accused of sexual assault.  This is the second time that the pro football player has been in legal issues over these types of charges.

This assault claim was made in Georgia, where a woman claimed that Roethlisberger assaulted her in the bathroom of a bar. Roethlisberger’s camp is skeptical of the motives of the claim given the high profiled nature of the previous claims.

Still yet, an investigation will ensue.  After all, there’s only two possibilities: Ben Roethlisberger has bad luck with these types of claims or two the women are telling the truth.

We aren’t here to say one way or the other if Ben is actually guilty – that’s up to the police to gather evidence and a judge or jury to convict.  Still yet, the buzz isn’t good for the image of “Big Ben.”

So far, no charges have been brought up against the NFL star. The victim of the alleged attack is a 20 year old college student, and it’s said she went to the police right after it happened.  The previous accuser did not go to the police straightaway.

The investigation in this is ongoing. If there is evidence that the accusations are true, the effects could be devastating.  In addition, the previous claim would have a little more meat if Roethlisberger was proved to be responsible for this week’s attack. Previously, the accuser last year had no evidence or police report.

What do you think about Ben Roethlisberger’s current situation?
