Authorities in Georgia say Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is being investigated in an allegation of sexual assault, media reported Friday.

According to the Associated Press, officers said the alleged assault occurred early Friday morning at a nightclub in Milledgeville, about 85 miles southeast of Atlanta. The player owns a home nearby.

The player and some of his friends were seen visiting local restaurants and bars Thursday night.

Roethlisberger and the alleged victim have been interviewed and the woman was taken to a hospital, where she was treated and released.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger celebrates after teammate James Harrison ran 100 yards with an interception for a second quarter touchdown against the Arizona Cardinals during the NFL's Super Bowl XLIII football game in Tampa, Florida, February 1, 2009.

Separately, Roethlisberger has been sued by a woman who claims he raped her in 200

8 at a Lake Tahoe hotel. The Steelers star denies those allegations and has asked for counter-damages.

Agent Ryan Tollner says that "given the prior accusation against Ben, we are skeptical of motive, but we will continue to cooperate with everyone involved."
