STORY HIGHLIGHTS

• Seven players questioned and released after two women say they were sexually assaulted
• One player remains under investigation
• Police say the women met the players at a local bar and one of the men invited them back to their rental condo
• The players were at the resort for a charity golf tournament, police said

(CNN) -- Seven players from the Green Bay Packers were questioned as part of an investigation into the alleged sexual assaults of two women early Saturday at a Wisconsin resort, authorities said.
Six of the men were later released and are not considered suspects. A seventh man, who was not identified, was also questioned and released, and remains under investigation, according to Lake Delton police Chief Thomas Dorner.
Police in Lake Delton, about 50 miles north of Madison, were alerted to the alleged assaults after the two women placed a 911 call at 4:17 a.m. Saturday, a police statement said.
The women directed officers to a condo at the Wilderness Resort Golf Cabins where the alleged assaults occurred, the statement said.
Dorner said the women had been invited back to the rental condo by the seventh man after the women met the group of players earlier in the night at a local bar.
Seven men at the condo were asked to go to the police department for questioning. Six of the men -- all listed on the NFL team's current roster -- were later released and are not suspected of any criminal activity, the statement said. The seventh man was also released, but "his involvement in the incident is still under investigation."
The Packers released a statement Saturday saying "we are aware of the reported incident and still are gathering facts."
The men were staying at the resort after participating in a charity golf tournament on Friday, Dorner said.
Dorner described the incident as a "he said, she said situation," with the seventh player claiming it was a "consensual sexual act."
Dorner said police "weren't able to develop probable cause to make any arrests at this point" and will forward all information to the district attorney's office, who will then decide whether charges will be filed.
The incident comes less than two months after Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was suspended by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell after being accused of raping a woman at a Milledgeville, Georgia, bar. Roethlisberger had faced the threat of criminal charges in the case, but prosecutors ultimately decided that they could not prove that a crime had been committed.

ugh!

Why can't they just fly strippers in from Atlanta like the Vikings?

[ImapFidaarram]

Underwood is the one under investigation..

Basically the 2009 draft class minus Raji and Quinn Johnson...

[gamblingstats]

..........and these guys have fucking learned NOTHING from the troubles of guys like Kobe and Big Ben and others.

Nothing.

As anything wait and see what happens. I doubt 6 other players would stand around while one sexually assaulted 2 women.

It will be interesting to hear how one player assualted 2 women at the same time.

I agree with this. I just can't believe these guys are putting themselves in position to be ACCUSED of it.

Right now any random piece of strange that a famous person picks up for a one night bump and grind knows they can cry rape and probably cash in on an out of court settlement.

What are they supposed to do though? Not talk to women for fear of them crying rape every time?

A pro athlete could walk into any bar, offer to buy a woman a drink, act like a complete gentleman but still get accused of something.

Why is Brandon Underwood buying drinks for women when he has a wife and 2 kids?

It was a general statement about athletes going out these days. I wasnt implying thats what he did specifically.

[CiccoineFed]

Ask Tiger Woods.

or approximately 30% of athletes.

Exactly! If you're out and you offer to buy a woman a drink (married or no) it's not an act of assault or cheating or anything. It's just being generous. All the woman has to do is decline. If the guy persists then it becomes unwanted attention. In the case of being married, who knows just what type of relationship the player and his wife have. Perhaps she doesn't mind him going out and having a good time here and there. Perhaps she thinks he's earned it now and again. Who knows?

I am gonna wait and see, but I think this is someone blowing some hot air to get some attention. Unless there are some rock solid witnesses to this
"incident" who have no affiliation what-so-ever to the party making the claim, I don't think this person has a leg to stand on.

I will say I do agree the guys do need to be a bit more mindful of the situations they are potentially getting themselves into. Considering the problems that have happened in the past, pro athletes need be careful

On my new phone I downloaded a Packers news app and that was something mentioned. Sounds like the chicas are just looking for some attention.

Problem is, it's still a bad mark on the Packers players involved as they've now been associated with trouble off the field, even though they weren't looking for it.
