Re: Ben Roethlisberger Accused...Again
is he going by Georgia law or where he's from. You would be quite surprised what you could get in trouble with in one state to the next. that's what gets alot of athletes in trouble in the first place , they are law abidding citizens in one state and criminals in the next.Comment

Re: Ben Roethlisberger Accused...Again
I'd venture to guess that most of the facts of this case have not made it to the public yet. If both sides are smart, they'll keep the facts close to their vest.Comment

Which is what he was saying I think. If she had neither physical injuries nor DNA then it's going to be hard to make a case for it.Ohio State - Reds - Bengals - Blackhawks - BullsComment

Re: Ben Roethlisberger Accused...Again
It's funny you say this because I ran into backup NT Chris Hoke at a restaurant near my house in Cranberry on Saturday. I really wanted to say something like "You guys need to put a leash on Ben", but figured I'd be good.He was with his family so I didn't want to be that guy.
BTW, I've said it from the beginning, but I also agree with BK and think Ben might be in trouble. The first case sounded fishy from the beginning and I never really believed the woman (kind of like the Duke Lacrosse case a few years ago). This incident....I don't feel very confident that Ben is innocent based on what I've read/heard and the actions of those involved.
I still don't know what to think totally, but this one definitely has a different feel to it, and there seems like there may be, I repeat may be, more to this one.Comment

Re: Ben Roethlisberger Accused...Again
Sexual assaults involving parties that are socially acquainted are very difficult to prove. If Roethlisberger, for example, gives a statement that he and the girl had consensual sex it is hard to disprove that. It becomes what is euphemistically called a "he said\she said" incident.
However, if he locks himself into a story that can be disproven (i.e- nothing sexual happened) and there is DNA evidence to the contrary, he is screwed.
A big mistake that is commonly made is to lock oneself into a story that can be directly shown to be false. Once that occurs, the suspects entire credibilty is shot, and they cannot recant and try to explain further.
No one outside of Roethlisberger and the girl knows what happened, and obviously the facts are not being dissimenated publicly. But I do agree, this case does not have the sordid air of the previous allegation, and it also speaks volumes about Big Ben's judgement (or lack thereof).Comment

The statement about the "sexual contact" in the dive bar bathroom is also probably what could get him in trouble with the Steelers or league, whether he's guilty of the crime or not. If you notice, Tomlin, Rooney and even Goodell has spoken about his lack of judgment rather than the potential charges. He's made it clear that he did go into a bathroom and do "something" sexual with a 20 year old coed while still under investigation for a pending rape charge.Comment
