GBI Police Report: Ben Roethlisberger assaulted another Georgia woman

After announcing they would not be pursuing the alleged rape charges against Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger details of the police investigation are surfacing on the internet, including a previous incident in which the QB showed his Big Ben to another young woman before forcibly putting his hand up her skirt.

The Smoking Gun obtained a report that details the encounter that took place at Roethlisberger’s Lake Oconee, Georgia home after the woman, a 21 or 22-year-old employee of the Great Waters golf course, fulfilled her duties as designated driver and took the inebriated athlete home after a party.

After arriving at the home, Roethlisberger reportedly slammed the door, pulled down his pants and told the woman, “she could do whatever she wants.”

A week after the incident the woman was invited to a party at the Roethlisberger home during which Ben invited her to his bedroom to show her a new bed he had recently purchased. According to the Smoking Gun:

After asking her to lie down, Roethlisberger “was allegedly forceful” with the woman and “put his hand up [her] skirt.” After pushing Roethlisberger’s hand away, the woman went to leave the home, which angered the football star. The woman then “went home and told her father, but her father chose not to pursue the issue.”

The woman’s mother later told an investigator that her daughter did not want to pursue the case because she was “very concerned about her name getting out to the media.”

Here are the statements from the incident. The alleged victim’s name has been redacted so I have substituted “Jane Doe” for ease of reading:
