MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. — Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is being investigated in an allegation of sexual assault at a Georgia nightclub, police said Friday.
Officers said the alleged assault occurred early Friday morning in Milledgeville, about 85 miles southeast of Atlanta. Roethlisberger, 28, owns a home nearby.
Roethlisberger is “alleged to be the perpetrator” in a sexual assault of a 20-year- old Georgia College & State University student, Deputy Chief Richard Malone said.
Malone said the woman and her party contacted a nearby police officer following the alleged assault.
Several areas of the bar were considered a crime scene, but Malone would not elaborate.
The woman was taken to a hospital, where she was treated and released, Malone said.
