Mike Ribeiro charged with sexual assault

[Montreal Shadow]

Not sure if this is the appropriate section because he hasn't played in the NHL in 5 years. Feel free to move it, mods.

Anyway, Mike Ribeiro is making the headlines for the wrong reasons again. Remember when he was accused of sexually assaulting his nanny? Well, something else came up.

The Dallas Morning News is reporting on Wednesday that former NHL forward Mike Ribeiro was charged with two counts of sexual assault on April 13th, with the charges being filed in Franklin County, Texas.

Ribeiro allegedly sexually assaulted two women on June 23rd, 2021, according to the Dallas Morning News, using his finger in his assault of one woman and his "sexual organ" on the other. He was reportedly arrested on April 28, 2022, and released on bond set at $200,000.

This is not the first time that Ribeiro has faced accusations of sexual assault.

In 2012, Ribeiro was sued along with his wife for sexually assaulting the couple's then-nanny, with the lawsuit alleging that Ribeiro sexually assaulted the nanny in his home while she was looking after his kids, as well as touching her inappropriately on numerous other occasions.

The lawsuit was eventually settled later that year and the terms of the settlement have not been released.

Ribeiro played 17 years in the NHL after being selected by the Montreal Canadiens with the 45th pick in the 1998 draft.

Not surprised.

I think this is the response anyone who remembers Ribeiro will have.

 

[super6646]

Yikes. Guy had problems apparently, so sadly not surprising to see.

 

[The Grim Reaper]

Ribeiro when he found out about the charges.

 

[JohanFranzenstein]

Glad they brought up the 2012 incident. I thought I had heard this one before.

Guy doesn’t have problems, he’s a scumbag.

Females who come into contact with him have problems.

 

[CanadienShark]

Why am I not surprised?

 

[Jauffre]

Lmao clutching at his chest like Fred Sanford, grabbing his back, the frantic leg movement. Biggest sell job attempt of all-time.

Cocaine is a helluva drug btw.

 

[Reparlana]

Everyone's reaction is consistent with mine. Saw this and thought not surprised. Oh boy.

 

[frederixx]

Crackhead. Hope justice is served this time.

Correction. He had and probably still has substance abuse problems. He's also a scumbag. He's a problem and has problems.

 

[Jyrki Lumme]

Surprised it took this long after retiring tbh

 

[Gil Gunderson]

I’m kind of shocked that so many people forgot about his initial accusations and just moved on like nothing happened.

I remember a few years back when he was welcomed with open arms on a RDS talk show like it was this big homecoming. That was after his first sexual assault allegations and his arrest for trespassing. I was disgusted they even would have him there.

Then he spent some time bashing Saku Koivu. I have no respect for the guy. He’s trash.

 

[DingDongCharlie]

If this can be proven he needs to face jail time not another financial settlement.

 

[Fatass]

Crackhead. Hope justice is served this time.

Lock this scum up and keep him there.

What did he say about Koivu?

 

[SoupNazi]

I wish I could say I'm surprised.

 

[chaosrevolver]

What did he say about Koivu?

Said he was a bad leader and cared more about points than the win if I remember correctly.

 

[Mark Stones Spleen]

The only thing that would surprise me less was if the victim was underage.

 

[PanniniClaus]

Was a piece of shit right from junior to the NHL.. just a piece of shit in general..

 

[Weztex]

This. He had a bad relationship with Koivu from day one. He claimed Koivu was jealous and had disdain for him (as I do). Calls him a bad captain every chance he gets.

Did they ever fight in practice? I vaguely remember something.
