Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will not be charged after an investigation into accusations of sexual assault by a 20-year-old woman in Georgia, sources told ESPN.

Sources confirmed to ESPN's Kelly Naqi that District Attorney Fred Bright will announce on Monday that charges will not be brought against Roethlisberger. Bright said in a statement Friday he has reviewed all the investigation reports and will hold a news conference at 2 p.m. ET Monday.

Milledgeville police Chief Woodrow Blue said Wednesday his department and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation had wrapped up their investigation into a 20-year-old college student's claim that Roethlisberger sexually assaulted her early March 5 at a club in Milledgeville.

It was the second time in a year that Roethlisberger has been accused of sexual misconduct. He also faces a lawsuit filed last July by a woman who says he raped her in 2008 at a Lake Tahoe hotel and casino, an allegation he denies. Roethlisberger has not been criminally charged in either case and has claimed counter-damages in the lawsuit.

Roethlisberger did not report to Pittsburgh's offseason workouts last month. The next critical day for players is April 19, when on-field practice starts. Most of the team is expected to be on hand then.

ESPN's Kelly Naqi and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

In other Steeler legal developments, Santonio Holmes' attorney is claiming to have a sworn statement from a man who threw the drink at the face of Anshonae Mills on March 7, which seemingly would exonerate Holmes from any wrongdoing.

According to Adam Swickle (Holmes' attorney), the man said he threw a juice drink with ice in the face of Mills but never threw the glass. What remains unclear is the drink-thrower's relationship (if any) to Mills and/or Holmes. So we may very well have a resolution in that case forthcoming as well.

I feel sorry for the Rooney family and the team for putting up with this idiot.
Bottom line the D.A. doesn't have enough evidence for a conviction
