The billet system is not flawed. There is no onus on the family; Reid is a f***ing scumbag and that’s the end of it.

The only person to blame here is Boucher and it’s pretty ridiculous to suggest otherwise.

Thought he was on a suspended sentence and serving 4 years probation? How is he allowed to leave the country? I guess it’s an exception for work?
Whenever a lawyered up statement includes a qualifier like "unequivocally" in it? It's a lie
Yeah young white guys that get into trouble with girls are still good old boys in the eyes of these executives who got away with the same shit when they were younger
I think it’s a society problem (that I have no idea how to fix) but you just hear about it from the rich/celebrity folks because people generally don’t care about nobodies.
But it also could be a power thing. These guys think they can get away with anything and are used to always being in power.
This is my completely uneducated analysis
I'll add a wrinkle and suggest that if the girl's parents didn't take legal action once they knew about it and didn't go to the police and attempt to bring this to the attention of any other relevant authorities that I would find fault with them as well. I cannot imagine someone assaulting one of my children in such a vulnerable relationship and then allowing it to be swept under the rug. I certainly hope that they placed their daughter in appropriate therapy to allow her to properly process what happened with qualified professional assistance. Just awful on so many levels.

How can someone even have the desire to do that? 12? That's not a woman, that's not a girl, that's a kid! Pure evil.
*Edited to add: Just read the main forum 1st page.. This is like the 5th or so sex crime RIGHT NOW. Dear God this world is so f**'d unless something changes fast. I really think porn has turned the world into perverts IMHO. Have conversations with your daughters young. I'd like to think I can raise mine in a world where I can teach her not all men are predators, but news like this sure makes it seem that way.

It gets tiring and frustrating hearing about all these sexual assaults. The sport is great, but my god there's so many scumbags involved in it. Hopefully there's a major shift in the culture of hockey and actual consequences handed out to people that not only commit these acts but enable them to happen as well.

Because as it turns out, having that much fame, money and material possession can cause the wrong kind of person to think they are above the rules of society. In the minds of these people being well known and wealthy entitles them to sex from whoever they want regardless of consent.
Things used to be far, far worse.
Underaged girls used to be married off all the time. The singer Jerry Lee Lewis married his 13 y/o cousin when he was 22. The Rolling Stones had a song about hooking up with 13 y/o groupies.

Is there a larger percentage of sexual assaults by hockey players than in other careers? Or perhaps just compared to the general population? Because that's what you seem to be implying

An event, attitude, behavior in any given synchronic time period during history does not mean X is justified as inherently or morally right diachronically and in the present. Slavery was legal once. Everyone used to smoke. At a fundamental level, it's ****'d to do that to a girl that young- in any period. Intrinsically. At least to me but you can't underestimate people nowadays it seems.
If you speak to psychologists, they will explain that in many cases, sex is directly linked to power.
The feeling of having power over someone.
It's a sick thing, but there are many many sick people all over the spectrum of humanity: poor, rich, young, old, male, female, all over the world.
It's one of the reasons why you see this kind of thing happen so often when there is a discrepancy in (perceived or real) power between individuals -
coaches : pupils;
boss : employee;
religious leader : kids helping in the church/synagogue/temple/etc;
politician : intern;
entertainment producer : aspiring entertainer;
modeling agent : aspiring model.
I've never been involved with anything that had this kind of crap happen around me (thank God), but I was also always taught to never feel inferior to anyone else in hopes that I was never put in a position of perceived power discrepancy.
To this day, I'll see the value in the person way before I even contemplate the supposed "power" of that person.
It's a societal problem and is not strictly a hockey problem.
However, because there is a massive power difference between the young aspiring player, to the coaches who can determine their future, developmental sports are definitely going to be rife with this shit.
How do we curb this kind of crap?
Well, having less private interactions between people of substantially different power values (coaches to young players) would be one thing to do.
Teaching our kids to have the self-confidence and self-worth to not only push back against such advances, but to instantly report them even if the act was rebuffed successfully; without any fear for repercussions.
Stronger laws and empowered investigative bodies to catch these people early after any actions that are in any way inappropriate.
Stronger screening and psychological evaluation of people who are granted positions of power - this should be absolutely bare minimum for all politicians, law enforcement, teachers, coaches, agents, etc.
What? I'm not saying it's justified in any way whatsoever.
I'm just disagree with the 'what have these times come to?' narrative. Societally, sexual abuse of minors is probably at the lowest level in history right now. You just hear about it far more in the internet age. The world 50 or 100 years ago was horrifying in this regard, and what was accepted as 'normal' was insane.

Porn is definitely a huge huge problem. Just look how much child porn has exploded in the last few years . It’s insane - it’s porn addiction , you start needing bigger and bigger hits because the vanilla stuff just isn’t doing it anymore.
I never had a huge issue with porn, or so I thought , but a couple of years ago I went “porn free” and the changes I felt in my mind were crazy. So much happier and relaxed without it. Don’t miss it at all.
I’ve had this conversation with a few people and I’m looked at like I’m insane! People don’t realize how addicted they are. Try and quit & you’ll see the extent of the addiction .
So depressing seeing all these headlines, and the trauma these girls are dealing with is going to affect them for years and years with things like PTSD, CPTSD, anxiety, depression, etc .
I hope they don’t cover up that world junior stuff and anyone involved is outed and banned from playing hockey .
