Ben Roethlisberger Accused of Sexual Assault
Posted Mar 5th 2010 3:15PM by TMZ Staff

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has been accused of sexual assault by a young woman in Georgia, TMZ has learned.

The alleged incident occurred early this morning at Capital City -- a club in Milledgeville, Georgia.

According to law enforcement sources, the alleged victim -- who has already been interviewed by police -- was treated at a local hospital and released.

We're told in addition to the alleged victim, witnesses are being interviewed -- and one law enforcement source says they will attempt to interview Roethlisberger.

In addition to the Milledgeville Police Dept, we've learned the Georgia Bureau of Investigations is also investigating.

As we previously reported, Roethlisberger is being sued by a Reno woman, Andrea McNulty, who claims the QB sexually assaulted her in 2008.

UPDATE: We're told Ben Roethlisberger has already been interviewed by police. We're also told no formal charges have been filed at this point.

UPDATE 3:30 PM EST: A rep from the Steelers tells TMZ, "We are gathering information on this incident - until then we have no further comment."

Ben rolled over to a bar called The Brick around 11:30 PM last night -- and sources inside the place tell us he was more than generous with the drinks .... buying round after round for his friends and some of the bar patrons.

We're told Ben arrived to the place with several large men including Pittsburgh Steelers teammate Willie Colon.

Sources say Ben was friendly inside the bar, chatting with fans and even posing for pictures until he picked up and left around 1:30 AM.

As we first reported, Roethlisberger eventually headed over to the Capital City club where the alleged incident went down.

Pittsburgh we have a problem.

A sports figure accused of sexual assault? That's certainly unusual.

...waiting on the media to call Big Ben a "thug".....

It ain't gonna happen. We have barely even heard about this.

But Chad Johnson having a Twitter dispute with some chick gets ridiculous media attention...
