As if the world needed any more bad news about athletes, especially one with an image as pristine as Ben Roethlisberger. Obviously, we have no idea how these guys are off the field, but knowing what I have seen of the Pittsburgh Steelers' quarterback, I hope this story is not true.

From AOL Fanhouse: Now, just a week before training camp starts, Roethlisberger is facing a civil suit that alleges he sexually assaulted a woman. According to Pro Football TalkPro Football Talk, the civil suit alleges that Roethlisberger asked Harrah's casino employee Andrea McNulty up to his room in the casino to fix his television, then sexually assaulted her. The suit charges Roethlisberger with six different civil charges: assault, sexual assault, false imprisonment, false pretenses, fraud and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Again, I hope this is not true. There are a lot of people who look up and love this guy; therefore, let's wish is this some bump in the road rather than this story bring true. Hopefully, both sides will met up in a court of law to hash this alleged incident out.
