New Jersey Devils Prospect Charged With the Sexual Assault of an Underage Girl
Noah Corson, the son of NHL legend Shane Corson, has been charged with the rape of an underage girl.
Corson is currently under contract in the New Jersey Devils organization, on a two-way deal with the Utica Comets. He most recently played in the ECHL for the Adirondack Thunder.
Here are the details of the investigation, per Rick Westhead:
Radio Canada reported that the alleged victim did not know Corson nor the other Voltigeurs player before meeting them on the evening of the alleged assault. She had been dating a third young man for a few weeks, Radio Canada reported.
After spending part of the evening in a restaurant, the woman and three men moved to the alleged victim's home where she was allegedly sexually assaulted while one of the defendants recorded a video using his cellphone, Radio Canada reported, adding that the woman later recognized the hockey players when she attended a Voltigeurs game and saw photos of the players on the arena wall.
As for his organization, they had this to say.
«Corson's agent has informed the organization that Noah will be taking an indefinite leave of absence, effective immediately," the Comets said. "The organization has no further comment at this time.»
This is absolutely deplorable, and we wish the best to the young girl affected by Corson and his teammates.
