Potential Charges In 2018 Hockey Canada Investigation Revealed By TSN Reporter Rick Westhead
Rick Westhead has made a name for himself as a reporter that goes the extra mile to uncover stories the NHL would rather see swept under the rug. Today he published another major update on the investigation into Canada's 2018 team.
Potential Charges For Players In 2018 Investigation Revealed
Alex Formenton became the first player in the investigation to surrender to London Police today. Following the news, Westhead noted that there are no specific charges that have been filed yet. However, he did note some possible charges as well as sentences that the former Senator could be facing.
"Several criminal lawyers who specialize in SA cases have told me over the past days they expected former 2018 World Juniors players facing prosecution for allegations in London, Ont., might face charges of SA and forceable confinement. Alex Formenton's attorney Daniel Brown told me today that the former Senators player has not been charged with either of those offences.
He declined to elaborate on what Formenton has been charged with.
If Formenton has been charged with common allegations, he faces a maximum 10 years in prison if he's found guilty. People convicted of SA a maximum of 14 years." - Rick Westhead
