Folks...witnesses and or confirmed video evidence is an automatic arrest and charges filed. Nearly three weeks gone by and no arrest. Think about it. They have none of this.

We have no idea what the authorities have or do not have right now.
Jumping to a conclusion that he is guilty of anything at this point is foolhardy.
Jumping to a conclusion that he has done absolutely nothing wrong at this point is just as foolhardy.
I'm still waiting for more of "The facts!!" to come out before jumping to either conclusion.
Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.
Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.
We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.
We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.
Again...physical evidence (DNA), a witness (or witnesses), and or video evidence is an automatic arrest and charges filed against. This is a fact.Originally Posted by RuthlessBurgher

But does the lack of those things mean that Ben has never committed a crime? We don't know that. It merely means that no criminal charges have been filed at this point. We don't know for sure what evidence they may have or not have.Again...physical evidence (DNA), a witness (or witnesses), and or video evidence is an automatic arrest and charges filed against. This is a fact.
Based on what the media reports have told them, many people assume that Ben Roethlisberger is some sort of sexual deviant and possibly even a rapist scumbag. Raven fans may feel that way, but you do not.
Based on what the media reports have told you, you assume that Andrea McNulty is a habitual liar, cheat and a thief. You may feel that way, but McNulty's family likely does not.
Both are assumptions based solely on media reports right now.

No!! I have supplied evidence to the contrary. Look at the links provided in the original post. The information on Andrea McNulty are proven facts.But does the lack of those things mean that Ben has never committed a crime? We don't know that.

My friend I know this is hard for you to understand....but there isnt much evidence beyond physical, eye witness, or video evidence. Any of these would warrant an immediate arrest with charges being filed.
And when this all comes out shortly...you and everyone else are going to see something similar in the two cases. There were emails and posts on web-sites that were pulled. Remember when Ben's lawyer said he had proof that Ben had committed no crime??

Ben did admit to having sexual contact with the girl. That is not a crime...Yes. But to be correct, there choice of "where" could actually be charged as a misdemeanour. That is not the point.
However, any way it turns out...Ben is guilty of something.
1. A criminal act....Which I believe didn't take place.
OR
2. Act of poor judgement in his position.....TWICE!
So, if these allegations are totally false...Does it make Ben a bad person? No. What it does show is his lack of maturity, responsibilty, and his inability to make smart decisions off the field. Is that a concern...Yes.
Even if Ben is cleared in both cases, He "should", and more than likely "will", see some type of punishement from the league and/or the Steelers organization. His conduct needs to be addressed.
And by the way....He is my favorite Steeler....And it hurts to say all of that!
What would you consider a hug for a picture? Contact that was not consummated??
Look at these two different reports on what Ben allegedly said.

Do you see the difference? Ben never said anything about any kind of sexual contact. None. Period. That came from irresponsible journalism.

In all fairness to Ben, alot of guys chase skirt all day long well into their 30s. That said, he needs to start curtailing his loose activities now.
If nothing comes of these, then in 3-5 years his rep will be fine. Humans have a short memory for things that don't stick. Alas, hope they aren't true and if it was, I hope it was just a butt grab or something less heinous.

Sources: Student Declines Interview With Police Reporting
Andy Sheehan PITTSBURGH (KDKA) ?
There are signs the potential sexual assault case against Steelers Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger could be falling apart.
First – the revelation that investigators apparently don't have key physical evidence of a crime.
Now the KDKA Investigators have learned that they could be running into an even bigger roadblock.
Just yesterday, KDKA learned that investigators were no longer requesting DNA from Roethlisberger.
Tonight, KDKA's Andy Sheehan reports that the alleged victim in the case has declined to be re-interviewed by police.
The fact that Georgia authorities no longer want Roethlisberger's DNA is significant to criminal justice experts who say there is now no physical evidence linking Roethlisberger to any potential crime.
"This statement from the authorities in Milledgeville, Georgia, markedly weakens the case, the potential case and significantly diminishes the likelihood of formal charges being filed against Roethlisberger," Dr. Cyril Wecht, a forensic pathologist, said.
Not only do prosecutors apparently not have any physical evidence of a crime, they may also be lacking a cooperating victim at this point.
Sources close to the investigation say that investigators have had trouble re-interviewing the woman since the night of the incident.
Sources say the 20-year-old co-ed did not show up for a scheduled interview a week ago yesterday and that as of Friday she still had not come in to be questioned.
And the same source says the investigation seems to have it a brick wall.
"Well they would have hit a brick wall," Robert Del Greco, a Pittsburgh area defense attorney, said.
Del Greco says if the victim does not cooperate, the case falls apart.
"Bottom line is no cooperative victim under these circumstances, probably no crime," he said.
In an interview, lead investigator Tom Davis of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation openly discussed the fact that Roethlisberger has not been re-interviewed, but declined to comment on whether the victim had been re-interviewed.
And in an email, the victim's attorney, Lee Parks, of Atlanta, also told KDKA's Andy Sheehan, "No comment."
But Del Greco says if she doesn't come forward, prosecutors may have to suspend the investigation.
"Unless you're willing to cooperate with us in the prosecution of a crime, we are not going to call this a crime," he said.
Dee Dub...There is a difference between getting the facts and running off at the mouth. You shouldn't swing your arms around without knowing the facts yourself.
