PITTSBURGH (93-7 The FAN) - Chicago Blackhawks star right winger Patrick Kane is under investigation for a possible rape case, multiple journalists from The Buffalo News have reported.
The following is an excerpt from their story:
"A local woman has accused Kane of a sexual assault, the sources said.
"The law enforcement sources said the woman went to a hospital and tests using a rape kit were performed.
"Kane, 26, has a home in Hamburg. He has not been charged with any crime.
"The News also learned from a law enforcement official that at least one other local police agency has been asked to assist with the investigation, and the other police agency was told the investigation involves an allegation against Kane. The agency was told that Roseanne Johnson, chief of the Erie County District Attorney's Special Victims Bureau, is the prosecutor assigned to the case."
The NHL and the Blackhawks are reportedly aware of the situation involving the three-time Stanley Cup champion.
#Blackhawks say: "We are aware of the matter and are in the process of gathering information. It would be inappropriate to comment further"
