Roethlisberger asked to give DNA sample

Ben Roethlisberger has been asked to submit a DNA sample to the police as part of the investigation into accusations that the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback sexually assaulted a 20-year-old woman in Georgia last Friday morning.

 

The woman told police that she was inside the restroom of the nightclub “Capital City” in Milledgeville, Georgia, when Big Ben entered the restroom and allegedly assaulted her early Friday morning.

The Milledgeville Police Department claim they have made the request for a DNA sample to Roethlisberger’s legal team and have said that they believe that he will comply and willingly submit a sample of his DNA.  

Ben's lawyer has already stated that his client is "innocent of any crime," and a DNA sample could possibly only strengthen his case and actually clear his name concerning the incident. Of course, if in fact Roethlisberger did sexually assault the woman in question, the DNA sample could only hurt his case in the long run. Either way, a DNA sample from him would either make or break the case.

The Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback has already been interviewed by the police once about the alleged incident at the nightclub in Georgia, but they have let Roethlisberger know that they would like to speak with him again sometime this week.
