For the first time yesterday, the world got to hear the cry of rape against Ben Roethlisberger that prosecutors said wasn’t strong enough to bring charges against the Pittsburgh Steelers’ superstar.
Georgia authorities released startling videotapes of Roethlisberger’s 5-foot-4, 145-pound accuser claiming she was raped in a pitch-dark nightclub bathroom by the 6-foot-5, 241-pound quarterback.
“He proceeded to have sex with me,” the 20-year-old blond said in one of 50 videotaped witness interviews released yesterday. “The whole time I said, ‘No, we really don’t need to . . . I was like, ‘No, this isn’t OK,’ and he was like, ‘No, it’s OK, I promise.’ ”

Wearing a navy-blue T-shirt and jeans, with her hair pulled back, the co-ed described an unemotional, hurried assault that she didn’t try to fend off because “I figured it wouldn’t help anything . . .
“I’m a little girl, and he’s a big boy . . . I didn’t want him to hurt me anymore than he was going to,” she claimed

She said she was afraid of his temper.
“He kind of had like a short temper . . . like he would get really, like, defensive,” she said.
“I wasn’t forward in any way,” she insisted, admitting she wore a sexually charged name tag from an earlier party.
“It’s just this silly thing . . . we were all wearing,” she said, adding it drew a “very crude” response from Roethlisberger.
The woman’s friend, Nicole Biancofiore, told investigators she, too, saw the football player’s temper flash when another woman hesitated to accept drinks from him.
“He said, ‘Forget it! You’re done! That’s it!’ ” Biancofiore said.
In a videotaped interview conducted a day after the alleged attack, the co-ed told cops she’d just left a friend’s birthday party on March 5 when she and some pals saw the double Super Bowl-winning star at the Milledgeville, Ga., club Velvet, and again at a club called Brick.
At a third night spot, Capitol City, she, her friends and the QB’s entourage went into a secluded area and downed shots. She said at one point, one of Roethlisberger’s bodyguards grabbed her and took her into an empty room.
“It was really weird how he did it . . . I was just like, OK,” the accuser said.
“He, like, had me sit at this stool. Then three seconds later, Ben comes back there, [his] penis was already out of his pants, and I was like no, this is not right. I don’t agree with this.
“I got up and I, like, went to the first door that I saw, which happened to be, like, a bathroom. And he, like, followed me in and shut the door.
“That’s when he proceeded to have sex with me, and the whole time I said, ‘No we really don’t need to do this, this isn’t OK, we shouldn’t be doing this.’ Then he just got up and left, and I walked out, and that’s when my friends, like, ran up to me, and we left and we went to the nearest cop car that we saw.”
In an audiotaped interview made the night of the alleged incident, the woman told cops in a slurred voice that the attack “felt like it was three seconds, but I was drunk, so I don’t know.”
“There was definitely vaginal penetration,” she later said.
In addition to the tapes, investigators released footage of Roethlisberger at a club with music blaring, asking a girl what her drink tastes like, and doling out high-fives, punching his fist in the air and flashing a huge grin for the camera.
Teammate Willie Colon, who accompanied Roethlisberger the evening of the alleged assault, told investigators he didn’t even know anything had happened until he saw cops at the club. One investigator laughed congenially at some of the player’s comments.
But Colon soberly noted, “I’m a player, too . . . We’ve got to be more cautious about putting [ourselves] in situations where people can harm us.”
The accuser said her recollection of details of the sex were hazy; she didn’t know if Roethlisberger used protection and only knew “he just pulled his penis out of the top of his pants . . . As soon as he was done, he left . . . It was just so scary, it happened so fast.”
Roethlisberger, 28, has denied wrongdoing, and prosecutors declined to press charges against him after the woman asked that the case be dropped. He has, however, been suspended by the NFL for up to six games.
In Pittsburgh yesterday, Roethlisberger took part in a practice session, but didn’t talk with reporters. He was escorted off the field by a team spokesman.
