Police in Georgia released video of the woman who accused Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger of sexual assault in March. On the video, she details how she claims Roethlisberger sexually assaulted her in a dark room in the bowels of a Milledgeville, Ga., nightclub.  Roethlisberger was not charged with a crime, but was suspended six games by the NFL for violating its personal-conduct policy.  The woman, who was 20 at the time of the alleged incident and a student at Georgia College & State University, has not been identified. In the video (which is expected to be available here), her face is obscured as she recounts what she says happened that night. Included in her account:  -- She met Roethlisberger by chance on a night out with her friends, and they ran into the quarterback and his entourage at several local bars. "He seemed really nice at first," she told police. But she found it odd that Roethlisberger, who owns a home in the area, would be bar-hopping with friends in a college town. "He's 28 years old." the accuser said. "That's weird."  -- She talked with Roethlisberger and his teammate, OL Willie Colon, at a bar where they first interacted. "We were all just sitting at the bar," she said. "He was just talking to us. It was completely casual, nothing sexual at all until ..." The accuser then revealed that she had been celebrating a friend's birthday at what she said was a "silly sex party" and the group of girls were wearing name tags. One of her friends wrote the letters "DTF" -- a sexually suggestive term -- on her name tag, and Roethlisberger asked her about it. Roethlisberger responded with what the accuser said was "something very crude."  -- Both parties later met up at the Capital City nightclub (site of the alleged incident), though the accuser said they were not trying to follow Roethlisberger. The quarterback's entourage invited the accuser and her friends into a private area. It was there that the accuser said one of Roethlisberger's bodyguards took her into a back hallway where she would meet with the quarterback seconds later. "I don't even know why I went," she said. "That was stupid."  -- It was in this dark area that the accuser claims Roethlisberger sexually assaulted her. When he appeared in the hallway, she said Roethlisberger's genitals were "already out of his pants." She described what she did next:  "I was like 'No, this is not right. I don't agree with this. I got up and went to the first door that I saw, which happened to be a bathroom. And he followed me in and shut the door."  -- Roethlisberger proceeded to have sex with her, the accuser said. "The whole time I was saying 'No, we really don't need to be doing this. This isn't OK. We shouldn't be doing this,' " she said. After he finished, she said "he just got up and left."  -- She could not say what position Roethlisberger had her in when questioned by police. "I honestly don't know," she said, claiming she was "frazzled." But she maintained that he had penetrated her. She also said she could not identify distinguishing marks on Roethlisberger or the color of his underpants, and she mentioned that the room was very dark.  -- The accuser said she was afraid to fight back against Roethlisberger because she had seen him exhibit a "short temper" earlier in the night. "I didn't want him to hurt me any more than he was going to," she said.  Roethlisberger's attorney maintained his client's innocence in the weeks leading up to when DA Fred Bright announced he did not have enough evidence to prosecute. The Steelers QB later accepted the six-game suspension from the NFL and acknowledged that "more is expected of me."  "Though I have committed no crime, I regret that I have fallen short of the values instilled in me by my family," Roethlisberger said in a statement after the suspension.  More details of the videos released by police are likely to emerge throughout the day on Wednesday.
