Colon not a witness to alleged assault

NEW YORK (AP) -Pittsburgh Steelers tackle Willie Colon was with teammate Ben Roethlisberger on the night the quarterback was accused of sexual assault in a Georgia club, but did not witness anything, Colon's agent says.

Colon was at the Capital City nightclub in Milledgeville, Ga., last Friday, for a birthday party for Roethlisberger. But Joe Linta, Colon's agent, said by phone Wednesday that Colon was on the dance floor and not close by when Roethlisberger allegedly sexually assaulted a 20-year-old college student.

Linta said Colon “had no knowledge of the incident” until he was questioned by authorities while leaving the club that night.

Authorities are still investigating the matter and Roethlisberger has not been charged.
