Second Accusation Emerges Against Ben Roethlisberger

April 16, 2010— -- A second woman has told police that Pittsburgh Steeler quarterback Ben Roethlisberger sexually accosted her while he was drunk, according to a police report.

The fresh accusation came as the National Football League is considering disciplinary measures against the star quarterback. It's not clear whether the new allegations could affect those calculations.

"Big Ben" Roethlisberger dodged prosecution earlier this week when a Georgia district attorney announced that he could not prove that the quarterback had raped a 20-year-old sorority girl in a nightclub bathroom. The girl told the DA she did not want to proceed with a prosecution.

Because of news coverage of that incident, word was passed to Georgia investigators about earlier incidents involving a woman who was 21 or 22 and worked at the Great Waters golf course near Roethlisberger's home on Lake Oconee.

The alleged incidents were reported to the Milledgeville police by Linc Boyer, who works with the department's Explorer Program, according to a police report.

Police contacted the woman, but she declined to press charges and asked that her name not be released. The police report has her name blacked out.

The report states, however, that she drove an inebriated Roethlisberger home from a party and helped him into his bedroom. When she tried to leave, however, he slammed the door shut and pulled down his pants, the police report states.

The report does not state when the alleged incident occurred.

A week later, Roethlisberger invited the woman to a party at his home, according to the police document. He showed her his new bed and asked her to lie down on it, the report states.

"During this, Roethlisberger was allegedly forceful with ... and put his hand up .... skirt. Eventually ... was able to push Roethlisberger's hand away and ... went to leave the residence. As she left, Roethlisberger allegedly became angry with .... ," the police report states.

Like the other incident, the woman and her family declined to press charges.
