Pro hockey player Alex Formenton, a former member of the Ottawa Senators who currently plays in Switzerland, is facing charges in London, Ont., his lawyer said on Jan. 28.

“The London Police have charged several players, including Alex Formenton, in connection with an accusation made in 2018,” lead counsel Daniel Brown said in an email. “Alex will vigorously defend his innocence and asks that people not rush to judgment without hearing all of the evidence.”
