Professional Canadian hockey player Alex Formenton turned himself over to police in London, Ont. on Sunday.

The former Ottawa Senators left winger was seen entering the police station around noon.

This comes as the latest in the ongoing investigation into allegations that members of the 2018 World Junior team sexually assaulted a woman. On Thursday, five players, including Formenton, were asked to turn themselves in to the police regarding the allegations.

“Alex will vigorously defend his innocence and asks that people not rush to judgment without hearing all of the evidence,” Formenton’s legal team said in a statement to the media.

Currently, Formenton is on an indefinite leave from his hockey club in Switzerland, for what the team cited as personal reasons.

Global’s Ahmar Khan has the details.
