The woman who has accused Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger of sexually assaulting her apparently has dropped out of college and is at home with her family, according to a report on TMZ.

TMZ is citing "multiple sources" in its report, which says the woman dropped out of Georgia College & State University over the weekend.

A 20-year-old Georgia College & State University sophomore reported that she was "sexually assaulted or sexually manipulated" by a man she described as 6-foot-5 and 241 pounds.

Milledgeville Police Chief Woodrow Blue said Monday that she has identified Roethlisberger as her attacker. The pair were seen at “multiple establishments” in Milledgeville late Thursday, according to police.

Milledgeville police say they expect to interview Roethlisberger within the next "two to three days."

Roethlisberger's attorney Ed Garland said he was confident his client will be exonerated.
