Former NHL player Alex Formenton has turned himself in to police in connection with an ongoing investigation into an alleged sexual assault involving several members of Canada's 2018 world junior team. Formenton's legal team confirmed that he and several other players have been charged by the police in London, Ontario. However, the specific charges against Formenton have not been disclosed at this time.
