Ex-Steeler Charged In Connection With Alleged Prostitute Ring

POSTED: 1:44 am EDT May 11, 2007
UPDATED: 3:44 pm EDT May 11, 2007

A former linebacker for the Pittsburgh Steelers is facing charges after being arrested on Thursday.

Richard Seigler was arraigned in Pittsburgh Night Court late Thursday, accused of having a role in a prostitution ring in his hometown of Las Vegas.

The Allegheny County Sheriff's department arrested Seigler with a warrant issued by Las Vegas Metropolitan Police. Earlier in the day, the Steelers cut him from the team.

Seigler was charged with pandering, providing transportation for a prostitute and living off the earnings of a prostitute.

Seigler wore number 95 for the Steelers and spent parts of the past two seasons on the practice squad.

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police told the Pittsburgh-Tribune Review the investigation started in 2006 when they received information that Seigler was a pimp during the off-season working with two women.

Police also say they found evidence during a four-month investigation that women escorted men on dates to casinos for fees of $200 to $1,000. Las Vegas Metropolitan Police expect to make more arrests in the case.

Seigler's bond is set at $25,000.
