LONDON, Ont. — Pro hockey player Alex Formenton, a former member of the Ottawa Senators who currently plays in Switzerland, is facing charges in London, Ont., his lawyer said Sunday.
“The London Police have charged several players, including Alex Formenton, in connection with an accusation made in 2018,” lead counsel Daniel Brown said in an email. “Alex will vigorously defend his innocence and asks that people not rush to judgment without hearing all of the evidence.”
The Globe and Mail reported Formenton turned himself into London police earlier in the day.
The newspaper, citing two unnamed sources, reported earlier in the week that charges are connected to an alleged group sexual assault of a woman in a London, Ont., hotel room in 2018. None of the allegations have been proven in court.
