NHL says status of players found not guilty in Hockey Canada scandal expected in 'near future'

It’s really unfair to such players that their leagues have been treating them as guilty and punishing them when no finding of guilt has been rendered.

Leagues should only dismiss athletes when it’s been legally proven they are actually guilty: You know, that whole presumption of innocence thing….

I think this is one of the problems driving false accusations. False accusers know those they accuse will face consequences and stress even if found innocent, the false accusers almost never facing any consequences for their cause accusations.

It’s the same with actors. It’s terrible for example what Amber Heard did to Depp, but equally as bad in my opinion that movie producers yanked offers from him based on such unproven accusations. Depp, like these players deserved a presumption of innocence.

These are all guys who can afford decent lawyers. I hate to think how many accused men in such situations end up being found guilty/responsible simply because they can’t afford a lawyer.

I was under the impression that it not only was consensual but she engaged the activity and pursed it and only changed tunes when social judgement came and the reality she didn’t snag some future hockey star hit.

Now if that is legitimate they should sue the league and her into oblivion and she should be charge with 5 count of making a false police report. Lying if under oath and then face maximum jail time just as these young men would have. The only way this stops is if when accountability returns and destroying peoples life’s has consequences.

In this case there is clear cut video evidence and her own statements saying she pursued and wanted the meeting to occur. In these types of solid cases full counter charges should be laid. As for the NHL and such everyone who touched and went along with this should be terminated. Set the precedent and let the courts do their job not some kangaroo adjudication behind closed doors.

Repeat innocent until proven guilty…. It is the basis of our system If you don’t have that then we have no justice system at all.
