NEW YORK (AP) -The NFL has not set a timetable for a decision on possible punishment for Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.
Last week, prosecutors in Georgia declined to charge Roethlisberger after a college student accused him of sexual assault in March. The league, however, is expected to discipline Roethlisberger.
He also is being sued by a different woman who says he raped her in 2008 at a Lake Tahoe hotel-casino. Roethlisberger denies the accusation and was not criminally charged in that case. He has claimed counter-damages in a lawsuit.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell could fine and/or suspend Roethlisberger under the league’s personal conduct policy. But NFL spokesman Greg Aiello says no time has been set on a decision.
