Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is facing another allegation that he sexually attacked a woman. Police in Georgia this week asked Roethlisberger for a DNA sample after a 20-year-old college student claimed that he sexually assaulted her in the bathroom of a club near Atlanta. The 6-foot-5 quarterback denied any wrongdoing, with his lawyer saying, “Ben is completely innocent of any crime.” He is already fighting a lawsuit filed by a woman who alleges that Roethlisberger sexually assaulted her in a Lake Tahoe, Nev., hotel room in 2008.
