PHOTOS! Ben Roethlisberger’s accuser is a student and sorority member at Georgia College. Ben Roethlisberger’s accuser is a student at Georgia College & State University confirms the university to press today.
For days LALATE has reported that Ben’s accuser is a local college student and sorority member with unconfirmed reports say she was a student at GCSU and member of Zeta Tau. While no word about the sorority (despite indications of certain social networking sites for a certain sorority going offline since Monday), Georgia College has finally issued a statement.
Georgia College & State University media relations manager Judy Bailey issued the following statement: “I can confirm that she is still enrolled as a student at Georgia College.” She also asked for anyone with information to contact the Georgia Bureau of Investigation or the Milledgeville Police Department.
Here again are some ridiculously unclear pictures from the night in question. The pictures are hideously poor quality:

Attorneys Lee Parks and David Walbert of Parks, Chesin & Walbert today say their client was the victim of an assault by Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger.
Their statement reads as follows:
“Their daughter has done the right thing and reported this matter to the police. She has been, and will be, available to the authorities to assist them in the criminal investigation. While the matter is under investigation, we ask you to respect her privacy, keep her name out of the press and allow the family space and time to heal.”
Amber Hanley is not Ben’s accuser. But AP reports of Hanley:
“Amber Hanley, a 21-year-old college student, said she and a few friends were also in the VIP area with Roethlisberger. She said she asked the quarterback to take a photo with her friend, whose boyfriend was a fan, but he seemed disappointed that’s all she wanted. Hanley said she rolled her eyes, and Roethlisberger called her an expletive and walked away. Later, Roethlisberger was aggressively hitting on another girl, Hanley said.”
Ben Roethlisberger’s attorney Ed Garland has said the following:
“The facts show that there was no criminal activity. No … assault occurred. Ben is completely innocent of any crime.”
