Prosecutors decided not to file charges because the accusations of sexual assault could not be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. Roethlisberger apologized to his teammates and the Steeler fan base and is trying to put the incident behind him. That's twice he's dodged a bullet of this type, but one has to wonder when his luck will run out.
I agree he is lucky as hell and the cards fall better with a great lawyer But he really needs to look at his approach to women and I bet that girl gets a nice check in order to quash a civil law suit

By all accounts he's a pretty good guy. But...there are plenty of nice guys out there who are also real dumb asses!
On the contrary. I've heard Ben is a real a-hole.
...& not be put into those positions, bad decisions.
accuser said, Ben raped her and his bodyguards took outside and kept anyone from going inside. Also, the cop who took her story resigned. The Pittsburgh front office is not happy and there's been some talk of maybe trading him. I think he can expect a four-game suspension at least.
