A Jury has found former Vancouver Canucks' player Jake Virtanen not guilty of sexual assault, after an alleged incident in a Vancouver hotel room back in 2017.

Virtanen, 25 had told the court in a statement that the encounter was consensual and that the woman was a willing participant.
On the opposite, the woman who's identity is protected alleges that she repeatedly told him "no".
Virtanen was still in the NHL when the allegations arose and was swiftly placed on leave and bought out in May 2021.
The non-guilty verdict comes after the Jury decided to go on a recess having not come up with a conclusive decision by Monday night.
