An Alberta judge has reduced the prison sentence of a former university football player of indigenous descent who was convicted of sexually assaulting a former girlfriend after she rejected his advances.

An Edmonton jury found Aaron Moore Minshull guilty last year of the July 18, 2020, “major sexual assault” of the female victim, who was not named in court documents.
