MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. - Authorities in Georgia won’t charge Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger after a 20-year-old college student said he sexually assaulted her.

 

District Attorney Fred Bright made the announcement Monday.

 

The student had told police that Roethlisberger sexually assaulted her last month at a nightclub in the central Georgia college town of Milledgeville.

 

Bright says questions still persist about what happened between Roethlisberger and the student inside a bathroom at the club.

 

Roethlisberger, who is 28, owns a home about 30 miles north of Milledgeville on Lake Oconee.

 

He also is being sued by a woman who claims he raped her in 2008 at a hotel and casino in Lake Tahoe, an allegation he strongly denies.

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. -- Authorities in Georgia won't charge Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger after a 20-year-old college student said he sexually assaulted her.

 

District Attorney Fred Bright made the announcement Monday.

 

"We do not prosecute morals. We prosecute crimes," Bright said.

 

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has plans to meet this week with Roethlisberger, sources familiar with the situation have told ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen.

 

The student had told police that Roethlisberger sexually assaulted her last month at a nightclub in the central Georgia college town of Milledgeville.

 

Bright says questions still persist about what happened between Roethlisberger and the student inside a bathroom at the club. However, he says the accuser and her family told authorities they did not want to press charges.

 

Roethlisberger, who is 28, owns a home about 30 miles north of Milledgeville on Lake Oconee.

 

He also is being sued by a woman who claims he raped her in 2008 at a hotel and casino in Lake Tahoe, an allegation he strongly denies.
