NHL to let judicial process play out in ‘horrific’ 2018 sexual assault case

• NHL to wait for case to finish before considering next moves
• London Police to provide an update on case on Monday

The NHL will wait for the judicial process to play out before making any decisions about four players facing sexual assault charges in a 2018 case involving Canada's world junior team that year, commissioner Gary Bettman said Friday.

Addressing the situation at All-Star Weekend days after the NHL players were charged by police in London, Ontario, with sexual assault, Bettman called the allegations abhorrent, reprehensible, horrific and unacceptable".
