Only Ben and this young woman know what the truth is at this point.

Yes, Ben put himself in a position where this kind of thing could happen, mind you while still fighting a similar charge in Tahoe. Stupid decision on Ben’s part w/o question. However that doesn’t make him guilty, whether you like him or not. Before you rush to judgement, see how the facts unfold.

Because don’t forget what happened to the Duke Lacrosse team. Stupid decision YES, but assault and rape NO. So no matter how bad the situation looks, stupid does not equal rape or assault.

Peace.

Nice headline. Why does he need to lawyer to do that for him? I thought that’s what he had the 20-year girl for? Thank you…Thank you…

i.e. how long could we give Michael Jackson the benefit of a doubt when he kept putting himself in intimate situations with children??

Can you give Tiger the benefit of a doubt after 1 woman comes forward? Maybe but two, three

I don’t think women are stupid enough to make false allegations (perjury) just for a little cash. I think those opportunists would have left the small Georgian town if that was their plan.

Ashdex why do you give him the benefit of a doubt? He trolls college bars. He is a 28 year-old celebrity who finds comfort mixing with 17-22 year-olds.

I didn’t believe the first girl in Tahoe. But I have a tough time giving Ben the benefit of a doubt when he consistently puts himself in bad positions and constantly surrounds himself with young naive girls.

Don’t get me wrong - he’s an idiot for putting himself in that position - AGAIN! Why a high visibility veteran QB is trolling in those places is odd and just begs for trouble. But being creepy is not a crime and I have to give him the benefit of the doubt.

The bottom line is, as we learned from Indiana and to a lesser degree Colorado, if the rape kit comes back showing intercourse showing it might have been non-consensual, Big Ben is going to get banged. The police dept is in a pickle, because if they do not pursue the charges, it will appear that they gave preferential treatment. If they do proceed, then they will be accused of a witch hunt.

ben’s a crumb w/women, just ask the co-eds from Miami after he won his first superbowl he would go hang out in oxford lamely trying to pick up chicks, not that successful maybe that’s why he forces his fat ass on the women he bar trawls for!

I agree w/ Ashdex esq. Although he probably wouldn’t the much lawyer is he simply stopped sexually assaulting people for a few days.

“The charge is serious, so Roethlisberger is taking appropriate action with this hire. I wouldn’t read into it anything more than that.” I thought the whole point of the article was that we’re supposed to read into it. It’s kinda’ like ‘I’m not sayin’…I’m just sayin’.

Any lawyer will tell you, often unapologetically and with no sense of irony, that truth is irrelevant in litigation. Guilty or not, he should get the nastiest, savviest bulldog of a lawyer he can afford.
