Facts about the case seem to be flying out today, but the bottom line is that big ben will not be charged with ****. But that does not mean that his trouble is over. Big Ben will most likely face discipline from the Steelers and or the league. This might range from a suspension and or entering the NFL substance program.
"Following ESPN's coverage of Ocmulgee (Ga.) Judicial Circuit D.A. Fred Bright's press conference, reporter Chris Mortensen suggested that Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger could be forced to enter the league's substance-abuse program.
Speaking of Bright's comments, Mortensen said, "You hear him say Ben Roethlisberger provided alcohol to the accuser, the ladies in that group. That a bodyguard escorted the young lady, the accuser, down to the bathroom, and then Ben followed her into the bathroom. I think those facts alone -- as you know, under the personal-conduct policy, you don't need charges, you don't need a conviction. "
