Noah Corson, son of NHL alumnus Shayne Corson, and current ECHL player for the Adirondack Thunder is being charged with s*xually assaulting a girl below the age of 16 while he was playing in the QMJHL.
The documents indicate that the incident happened between October 2016, and January 2017, and involved two other men, one of them being a teammate of Corson's on the Drummondville Voltigeurs.
The allegations towards Corson have not yet been proven.
Radio Canada reported that the alleged victim did not know Corson nor the other Voltigers 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 *xually 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.
The two other defendants plead guilty.
Corson, who has 15 points in 20 games this season, has been put on an indefinite leave of absence.
