Anyone remember when Drew Doughty was accused of the same thing?
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ockey-star-accused-rape-expected-cleared.html
Not sure where to find it but I believe when asked what she wanted as punishment for doughty she said something about taking his name off the Stanley cup.
I guess details will come out but innocent until proven guilty.

I believe the news story was to show Kane time line during the weekend leading up the alleged sexual assault ...And they say the Montreal media is crazy

....You know, you could just drop the "I believe" part and that would be 100% correct as well.

Only PK, something.....different about him, ya know?
I'm gonna wait to see how this case goes before I start making assumptions. At this point we know next to nothing about the situation.
And as always, because I don't want anything to do with the main board: if Kane raped her, the onus is 100% on him. If she lied, she deserves a punishment. And if you go out drinking, stay with your friends and don't get too wasted, it's bad for ye liver.
****ing hell. Sounds like a girl who was upset he didn't call her back.
Suffice to say they dropped the charges.

NHL set the precedent with Voynov. If Kane is indicted he'll be suspended until the trial is over where they'll make a decision from there. If not, they lose a little more credibility and they don't have enough to be throwing it around like candy.

Source: CTV news.
I just heard/saw on TV that no charges have been laid on Kane...yet.
(there was nothing else mentioned).
I heard the word ''assault'', not rape.
(or maybe I missed the word rape?).
Again...this was from CTV news.
THE TWO BEST NHL TEAMS IN THE LAST 5-6 seasons (or more):
<L.A.: Voynov...Doughty acquitted of charges
<Chicago: Kane in an alleged assault (rape?) case, but nothing seems confirmed yet...too early.

Did police really ask her to call her "alleged attacker"!?
I'm operating under the assumption that Doughty didn't do anything wrong (although absence of evidence isn't an exoneration). Still, someone can be vindictive for more serious reasons (like if they suffered a trauma). Best to just hope for both parties to be able to move on from the event mentally sound and a little wiser.
The reality is, as with most crimes, we don't know if there was or wasn't rape, just that there wasn't ample evidence. Doughty was investigated, and since there is no information to suggest the investigation wasn't conducted properly, I accept its results.

I was wondering that also. I can only think her story sounded like bs to start with.
The story with Kane is getting more traction now...police are awaiting forensic testing results.

Law enforcement is probably refraining from using such a damning term as "Rape" until the investigation is complete and they are certain such a crime was committed and charges are laid. For now they are calling it a Sexual Assault investigation because at this point they're not certain.

What is the difference between rape and sexual assault?
Rape is defined as unwanted penetration, whether that is oral, anal, or vaginal. Sexual assault refers to any unwanted sexual contact, including fondling and molestation
http://rapecrisiscnm.org/faq/86-what-is-the-difference-between-rape-and-sexual-assault
Essentially, sexual assault is an umbrella term that includes all unwanted sexual contact whereas rape refers to a specific crime. Rape is always sexual assault but sexual assault is not always rape
This is it, in Canada it all falls under sexual assualt, which is treated as a subset of assualt in general. Its difficult to generalize in the United States since they have different criminal law in each state, but they tend to classify the offenses as varieties of rape or sexual assualt.
If she's a lying ******* trying to get attention/money, lots of people will be angry and Redditors will go crazy.
If he did rape her, the NHL loses a valuable and very marketable star which I kind of happen to like.
Honestly, in both cases, I'll turn out to be upset. Best case scenario is if it had never happen... Ah well, this really sucks overall.
Edit: I CARE MORE ABOUT THE GIRL THAN MONEY

What about people being angry if he did rape the girl? Or do we only care about marketability in that case?
If he did do it I will be extremely angry, I don't give a **** about what the NHL would lose.
Do they take him off the cover of NHL 16 tho?
My point was that it sucks for EVERYONE if he did it. But sure, make it sound I care more about money than the victim. That's clearly the kind of person I am.
