Garret Ross, Blackhawks prospect, charged in revenge porn case

Garret Ross, Blackhawks prospect, charged in revenge porn case
Garret Ross is a 23-year-old winger for the Rockford IceHogs, the Chicago Blackhawks’ AHL affiliate. He didn’t play in their games over the weekend, with coach Ted Dent saying it was a “coach’s decision,” according to Chris Block of Third Man In.
But Block reports that it wasn’t the coach who made the call – it was the Blackhawks. That’s because Ross has been charged with one felony count of "non-consensual dissemination of private sexual images,” which is more colloquially known as “revenge porn.”
According to TMZ:
Officials say back in August (2015), the player shared a photo of a woman "engaged in a sexual act, which was obtained under circumstances which Ross should have known the image was to remain private." Officials say Ross also should have known the woman "had not consented to the dissemination."
Ross picked the wrong state (and time) for this malarkey. Illinois passed a “revenge porn law” that went into effect in July 2015. From the Balough Law Offices blog:
Under the new law, non-consensual dissemination of private sexual images occurs when an image of a person over 18, who is identifiable from the image or information displayed with the image, is engaged in a sexual act or “whose intimate parts are exposed, in whole or in part,” the image was obtained “under circumstances in which a reasonable person would know or understand that the image was to remain private,” and where the person depicted has not given consent for the dissemination.

In addition to the possibility of jail time, the property of a person violating the act is subject to forfeiture.

As you can see, the offense date was Aug. 31, 2015. Ross has played 59 games this season for the IceHogs, with 7 goals and 13 assists and 107 penalty minutes.
From Third Man In:
It’s unclear at this point when Blackhawks management knew of the charges against Ross. The case has been ongoing. A plea hearing in February was postponed and is now scheduled to take place next Monday.
So why take him out of the lineup now? Because the story broke on social media and digital media in the last several days, of course. Blackhawks gonna Blackhawk ...
Please note that the IceHogs pulled Ross’s game-worn Star Wars-themed jersey from their charity auction on Sunday. Because if you think the Blackhawks are upset over one of their players being associated with revenge porn, shudder at the wrath of Disney if that had happened. We're talking a Starkiller Base level of destruction ...

They need Corey back ASAP... how confident does our backup goalie sound?
"It's not a good situation," Darling said. "We miss Corey. For me, it's nice to play, it's nice to get a couple of games, some repetition and to get into a little bit of a groove, God forbid they need me down the road."
Dude sounds defeated.......
Its like the ultimate Bettman fantasyno cdn teams in the playoffs, cdn teams in the west are the bottom 4 teams
and the bottom team in the east
this nhl season has been ass cant wait till its over
Word, too many these coaches are obsessed with their boring, safe defensive systems. A Mike D'Antoni run-and-gun offensive system coach where you gotta play balls out all game would change the game. My hockey viewing has been very limited this season.
Boudreah in Washington was the last of a dying breed and he got canned for it
No player gonna hit 50 goals
