NHL player on leave after sexual misconduct allegation.

The woman has spoken exclusively to Glacier Media and has identified the individual as Vancouver Canucks forward Jake Virtanen, 24. https://www.vancouverisawesome.com/bc-news/canucks-player-on-leave-after-sexual-misconduct-allegation-3683377

“I couldn’t believe that I said no and he didn’t take that for an answer,” she says. “I felt violated and gross and wanted to leave.”

Glacier Media has agreed not to identify her due to her fear of public backlash. For the purpose of this story, we will refer to her as ‘Emily’.

Although Emily has contacted the police, there are no charges and none of these allegations have been proven in court.

In an email statement on Friday evening, the @Canucks say the player has been placed on leave.
