I have a real problem with the fact that Ben Roethlisberger wasn’t charged with sexual assault in the case a college-aged woman in Georgia brought against the football superstar.
The attorneys for the woman said the intense media spotlight aimed at her during a high-profile criminal trial “would be a very intrusive experience” for her. It’s likely she’s right.
It’s an unfortunate situation, but not all that uncommon. It’s estimated that 60 percent of sexual crimes go unreported every year. SIXTY PERCENT.
Why?
Rape and sexual assault are intensely personal, private crimes. They are embarrassing. They are shameful. Throw in a little celebrity and a pack of rabid fans, and you have a recipe for disaster.
I'm just sickened and saddened by the whole thing.
It is sad, Ben is pathetic.
