NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has plans to meet this week with Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, sources familiar with the situation have told ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen.
Sources have told ESPN's Kelly Naqi that District Attorney Fred Bright will announce on Monday that charges will not be brought against Roethlisberger. Bright said in a statement Friday he has reviewed all the investigation reports and is ready to announce his decision.
Milledgeville (Ga.) police Chief Woodrow Blue said Wednesday his department and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation had wrapped up their investigation into a 20-year-old college student's claim that Roethlisberger sexually assaulted her early March 5 at a club in Milledgeville.
The league also is awaiting details of police investigation before meeting with Roethlisberger.
It was the second time in a year that Roethlisberger has been accused of sexual misconduct. He also faces a lawsuit filed last July by a woman who says he raped her in 2008 at a Lake Tahoe hotel and casino, an allegation he denies. Roethlisberger has not been criminally charged in either case and has claimed counterdamages in the lawsuit.
