Graham James facing more sex abuse charges

Graham James, the hockey coach convicted of sexually abusing multiple players under his watch, is facing new sexual assault charges in Swift Current, confirms Sheldon Kennedy.

Kennedy, the most outspoken of James' victims, says he has been informed of the new charges against the disgraced ex-coach, which reportedly include repeated acts of sexual assault under Section 271, Subsection 1, Paragraph (A) of the Criminal Code of Canada.

"I'm not at all surprised, I mean the initial police investigation estimated there were anywhere from 75 to 100 victims out there," said Kennedy, after confirming he was aware of the new charges.
