Chicago Blackhawks star Patrick Kane is in the midst of a sexual assault investigation that took a dramatic turn Wednesday. According to the attorney of Kane’s accuser, evidence from the rape kit administered on the alleged victim was taken, tampered with and delivered to the accuser’s mother’s home on Tuesday. Law enforcement officials later denied those claims.
The Blackhawks have not commented on this recent development, but they allowed Kane to attend training camp last weekend before this new information came to light. The team held a press conference last Friday in which Kane read an opening statement declaring his faith that he will be found innocent.
