Reporter Unveils Charges Being Faced By The Members Of 2018 WJC Team
TSN reporter Rick Westhead, a longstanding figure in this ongoing story, provided a significant update today. While Alex Formenton, one of the rumored players involved, has not been formally charged, Westhead outlined possible scenarios if common charges are brought against him and other players.
"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 forcible 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."
