And now, the carefully constructed narrative of players, Hockey Canada, the NHL and the police will be examined once more. If you want to know how hard it is to prosecute multiple sexual charges, just consult the Jian Ghomeshi trial. Former MLB pitcher Trevor Bauer faced sexual assault charges from an alleged assault at his home.
