Jake Virtanen officially charged with sexual assault, facing many years in prison
From CityNews in Vancouver:
Vancouver police say the BC Prosecution Service has approved one count of sexual assault against the 25-year-old. The investigation stems from an incident that happened in 2017. The now 23-year-old woman brought forward claims against the hockey player in May 2021. The VPD says Virtanen is not currently in custody.
«Given Virtanen's height, body weight and superior strength, the plaintiff was powerless and was unable to force Virtanen off of her,» the documents allege. «Virtanen proceeded to push open the plaintiff's legs and to have sexual intercourse with the plaintiff without the plaintiff's consent.»
«I couldn't believe that I said no and he didn't take that for an answer,» she says. «I felt violated and gross and wanted to leave.»
If all this is true, Jake's career will probably be over after these horrible acts.
