A former Quebec junior hockey player sentenced to prison last year for sexual assault will get a new trial.
Quebec’s Court of Appeal has overturned Noah Corson’s guilty verdict. He was orginally sentenced to two years less a day in prison for sexual assault of a minor under the age of 16.
Corson was 18 at the time of his 2016 encounter with the minor, which this case stems from. He played for the Drummondville Voltigeurs and is the son of former Montreal Canadiens centre Shayne Corson.
More to come.
