03/08/2010 - Milledgeville, GA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Milledgeville police chief Woodrow Blue said Monday at a brief press conference that arrangements are being made to interview Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who was recently accused of sexual assault.
Blue said that the department has been in touch with Roethlisberger's attorney, and that Roethlisberger is cooperating. Blue did not get into details of the case, only saying it is still in the investigative stage.
Georgia Bureau of Investigation special agent Tom Davis said he anticipates conducting about eight interviews over the next few days, and said the accuser has legal representation. Davis also did not disclose much about the case.
The alleged incident took place Thursday night at Milledgeville club Capitol City. Roethlisberger's agent confirmed Friday to the Pittsburgh Post- Gazette that the allegation had been made.
The alleged female victim was treated at the Oconee Regional Medical Center in Milledgeville and released.
Steelers president Art Rooney II released a statement Monday about the situation.
"All of us in the Steelers family are concerned about the recent incident involving Ben Roethlisberger in Georgia," the statement said. "We cannot comment on any of the specifics until law enforcement's investigation is concluded. Certainly, we will continue to closely monitor the situation."
Last July, the quarterback was accused in a lawsuit of raping a 31-year-old woman in a hotel room in Harrah's Casino in Lake Tahoe. Roethlisberger denied the allegations and no criminal charges were filed.
The lawsuit was put on hold late last year pending the outcome of an appeal to the Nevada Supreme Court.
Roethlisberger owns a home in Greensboro, Georgia and spends much of the NFL off-season at the location, which is approximately one hour from Milledgeville.

Mayweather picked to beat De La Hoya
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA -- Golden Boy Oscar De La Hoya and his rival Floyd Mayweather Jr. arrived at the MGM Grand here Wednesday amid the pomp and pandemonium befitting two of the biggest stars in the sport who are about to duke it out for the WBC super welterweight crown this Saturday (Sunday in Manila).
As of Wednesday, MySportsbook.com closed its book with Mayweather a favorite to defeat De La Hoya at -170 (a $100 bet wins $70), while De La Hoya is a +140 underdog (a $100 bet wins $140).
Mayweather arrived at about 11:30 a.m. on a big truck with his face and a big "World's Best Pound-for-Pound" sign scribbled across the vehicle. He was accompanied by his entourage made up of rappers and his training team.
A crowd of close to 3,000 eager fans packed the MGM Grand lobby, with their cameras in tow, all trying to vie for position to get a good angle at Mayweather, who is acknowledged as the world's best fighter pound-for-pound.
Eric Gomez, Golden Boy Promotions vice-president, described the fan turnout as "amazing" and swore he had never seen anything quite like this event.
"The crowd was fantastic. Everybody was just too eager to see the two fighters," said ALA manager Michael Aldeguer, who was among those who waited at the lobby together with his ward Rey "Boom Boom" Bautista and AJ Banal.
De La Hoya made his own grand entrance at the hotel lobby at around 12:30 p.m. accompanied by GBP chief executive officer Richard Schaefer and trainer Freddie Roach.
The same group of fans who trooped to see Mayweather also lingered around to get a close look at De La Hoya, who has been secretly working out at a Las Vegas gym for days after arriving from his main training camp in Puerto Rico.
The golden boy then took part in a closed-door afternoon workout with Bautista and Banal. The two, along with Aldeguer and wife Christine, as well as an HBO crew were the only ones allowed inside the gym.
De La Hoya and Mayweather take part in today's final press conference before the official weigh-in this Friday.
Ring Magazine, the acknowledged bible of boxing, reported in its June 2007 issue that 12 out of 20 boxing experts it interviewed have favored Mayweather to defeat De la Hoya, with only 8 favoring the latter.
But Filipino ring icon Manny Pacquiao said in a recent interview with The Freeman's Emmanuel Villaruel that De La Hoya will win by unanimous decision over Mayweather.
