An attorney for Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has hired a private investigator to look into a sexual assault allegation made by a 20-year-old Georgia college student.

Police in the college town of Milledgeville continue to investigate, but have released little information since the accusation was made a week ago.

The private investigator, Charles Mittelstadt, on Friday contacted a lawyer for the club where the woman says the assault took place.

Photos have surfaced online of Roethlisberger smiling alongside the officer who wrote the initial incident report. But the police chief dismissed the photos, saying they were taken much earlier in the evening.

The two-time Super Bowl winner hasn't been charged, and his lawyer says no sexual assault occurred.
