How exactly does this make the Patriots look bad? It happened under the Steelers watch and it goes to a criminal trial and he's convicted, they'll release him. If NFL fans want to rip the Pats for signing him, I'm not sure they could have known this when they signed him (the suit came conveniently the day after he signed). If they want the Pats to simply dump him, he is entitled to due process so they have no choice but to ride this out and see what happens.
I think it's almost a certainty that the league suspends him (Roethlisberger got 4 games even though he was never convicted of his rape situation). Suspending him probably satisfies the blood thirsty owners who are angry at the Pats for signing him in the first place.

There was an attorney on NBC Sports Boston last night that said she went to the police but since there was no case opened, they likely determined there wasn't enough evidence to proceed with a case, hence the civil route.

Not sure how much information in that link is accurate. We'll find out quickly if she used to work for the Pats. It also claims she told the police, but there's no reports to support that at this time.
