RIP RW. This HC stuff is giving hockey players a target on thier backs. Women saying they dint consent to something after the fact because they want money or are embarrassed. It's hurting real victims out there and ruining lives.
Teach your boys now.
From what I have seen, this RW guy was not a nice guy - treated people like shi!t and was up on sexual assault charges. While I'm sad for this family, I'm really thinking about the victims of this guy who had abused his powers over the years.
As for the HC trial - the criminal trial went ahead based on the public outrage of the settlement being leaked/coverdup. The alleged victim did not want any part of it. She has been forced to testify. She settled with HC rather quickly, without the players even knowing, and thought the matter was behind her.
After hearing and reviewing all of the evidence and testimony, it is a pretty weak case against the players but I do feel that the players were in a position of power and stature, (these guys have been told yes their whole lives because they were good at hockey since 8 years olds) and they took advantage of that.
These are young, good looking, athletic guys with unbelievable earning potential. These guys are used to women throwing themselves at them and hanging off of them. I'd bet a lot of money that a lot of these guys have been in 3way or group s*x situations before.
