Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers may be able to rest easier this weekend.
Kelly Naqi of ESPN reports that Roethlisberger will not be charged after a one-month investigation into sexual assault charges stemming from a March 5 incident in Milledgeville, Georgia.
Ocmulgee (Ga.) Judicial Circuit District Attorney Fred Bright will hold a press conference Monday at 2 p.m. ET to announce his decision.
Roethlisberger also faces an ongoing civil lawsuit over sexual misconduct in Nevada. He has not been charged with a crime in either case.

When Ben refused to meet with the cops or DA, there wasn’t much they could do. This is no surprise.
I think Ben is guilty of rape charges. This is not the first rape charge he’s accused of.
Someone who cares about this guy needs to get him to retire and live comfortably ever after.
I do know a bit about the other case in which the woman accused Ben of assault about a year after it supposedly happened. Does not seem believable.
Figures...

Take that Steeler haters and Ben haters!
All those millions of dollars bought him a good lawyer. That is the only thing that is saving his dumb ass.
Say what you want about Ben, but he has two Super Bowl rings and he’s nowhere near 30 yet.
No reason to jump to conclusions (sarcasm off)...the first case was a civil case as the authorities laughed at the woman’s story....this case was never considered a “rape case”. But, yeah, Ben is certainly a “rapist”. LMAO at the ignorance.
We will never know the real truth, ignorant or not!
Unless you were being sarcastic, I can't believe you...Extremely Extreme, would say that. You sound just like the fans of Michael Jackson and O.J. Simpson who continue to glorify them as "heroes" for their entertainment and sports achievement, despite the criminal acts that they got away with.
Ben is just another who should not only be taken off the field, but off the sidewalks of America. And I am a Steeler fan. There will always be another superstar, we do not need to keep men like this in the limelight for past performances. He messed up big time...time to pay the price for his arrogance and crimes. Then, maybe our kids will begin to understand what being a real "hero" is, and what it isn't.
First you state that “Ben is guilty of rape charges” and then when I challenge you on this statement you say “ we will never know the truth”.....please Lord....never let me be judged by a jury of peers made up of people like “Justaham”....
Exactly how has Ben “messed up big time”. So far as I can tell he is guilty (at age 26 or 27) of going to a bar and chasing women....who, by the way are supposed to be 21 since they’ve been let into the club. If this is “messing up big time” then there are a bunch of guilty men in America, including myself....get off your “high-horse”.
You know how cattle are branded to identify the owner? Well we should have the logo of the professional team that the athlete belongs to branded on his right forearm. This way, he can be free to commit crimes and when the police come, so long as he is sporting the logo of say the Pittsburgh Steelers or the Chicago Black Hawks on his right forearm, they should just let him go.
This way, we can be assured that our favorite athletes will always be available to take the field at game time. Wouldn't it be a bummer if Ben Roethlisberger couldn't take the field over some stupid rape charge? Our Sunday afternoons would be ruined and we can't have that.
Many declaring him guilty without any evidence. I detect the presense of many seahawk fans on this threat.
I didn’t say “Ben is guilty of rape”, what I posted was “I THINK Ben is guilty of rape”, you ignorant POS.
That does not mean it is true, but I still think he is. That is why we will never know the truth. Try to get some reading glasses at Walgreen’s. It might help you read stuff better.
Did I endorse his behavior? No. I’m just saying he has 2 SB rings at a young age. And nobody can take that away from him.
