Ben Roethlisberger just added another elite member to his defense team -- a famous private investigator who's handled several high profile celebrity cases before.
TMZ has learned the P.I. is Charles Mittelstadt -- who has worked as a lead investigator on behalf of NFL stars like Ray Lewis and Jamal Lewis. Mittelstadt has also worked for rapper T.I. and convicted Olympic bomber Eric Rudolph.
Hiring a private investigator is a sign that the alleged victim is fair game. In this case, as we already reported, law enforcement tells us alcohol was a factor.
It's a safe bet the P.I. will go down that road ... as well as others.

He's already caused this girl to quit school, now he's going to destroy her reputation. How many girls has he attacked now? 2? He's rich and famous, and he's going to get away with it. Just like O.J. He makes me sick.

Hey guys!!! Will you please Google " Save Better of Ted" and it should be the second link down at " go petition" and you don't have to register to sign it. It stars Ellen D's wifey Portia de Rossi. It's a great show, it just didn't get a good time slot, or good promotion. Thanks so much!!!!!

"He's already caused this girl to quit school"
she is responsible for her own actions. Are you positive he is guilty?
You can't be a famous rich male in today's world without some gold digger accusing you of sexual crimes to get famous and rich. It happens all the time.

I'm thinkin' the 20 yr. old girl was probably drunk and fell down and cracked her coconut. I'm not entirely sure what HE was doing in the Ladie's room though. Maybe there was a line in the Men's room?? By hiring the PI they will be able to determine whether or not she has a history of this. Nothing wrong with that. I work with a girl that EVERY time she goes out drinking, she falls down and wakes up covered with bruises. Sheer stupidity.

Let's harken back to all of those unfortunate young men who attended Duke university several years ago who were forced to leave school due to FALSE allegations by a stripper and an unscrupulous D.A. Ruined their lives an educations...
Perhaps he was walking by the women's room as she was coming out and she PULLED him inside, slipped and fell??

Nice. This is exactly why a lot of women don't report sexual assaults, everyone wants to make the victim look like some kind of whore. No means no everyone, whether the victim was drinking or not, and yes, by the way, what WAS he doing in the Ladies' Room?

Hiring a PI means trouble for this girl unless she has a motivation. Why else would they take this strategy? Then again, look what happened to the Duke Lacrosse team. The facts are what they are....so let's wait before we rush to any judgment.

If Big Ben can't prove his innocence with OUT slamming a 20 y/o girl..then maybe he has a few skeletons in his closet? If you really didnt commit the crime perv then you wouldn't be digging into this young lady's past now wouldja? Hope the DA starts digging into your past and pulls in that previous accuser...what's good for the goose
