Former NHL star Dave "Tiger" Williams has been charged by military police with sexual assault in connection with an incident that took place aboard an air force flight. Williams is facing one count of sexual assault under the Criminal Code and one count of common assault. The Canadian Forces National Investigation Service would not release any information about the alleged victim. The charges against Williams come at a time when the military has been cracking down on sexual assault and misconduct among its own members. "Every allegation of sexual assault is taken seriously by the Canadian Forces National Investigation Service," said Lt.-Col. Kevin Cadman, the commanding officer of the investigation service, in a statement.
