Former NHLer charged on multiple sexual assault allegations

Last year former NHLer Mike Ribeiro  was arrested and charged in Texas with allegedly sexually assaulting two women in the summer of 2021.

The Dallas Morning News reported that Ribiero was charged with two counts of sexual assault on April 13th, 2022 in Franklin County, Texas.

According to papers filed in court, Ribeiro allegedly assaulted two women on June 23rd, 2021 "using his finger in his assault of one woman and his sexual organ on the other."

TSN lead investigative reporter Rick Westhead now reports that Ribeiro is facing an additional charge of attempted sexual assault and will have his case heard in August.

From Westhead:

Needless to say, this is a serious criminal offense and Ribeiro is looking at time in prison if convicted.

This, of course, isn't the first time that Ribeiro has been alleged to have sexually assaulted a woman. In 2012, Ribeiro was sued by his family's former nanny who alleged that he sexually assaulted her while she was in the care of his own children.
