Charges of 'revenge porn' against Blackhawks prospect Garret Ross were dropped on Tuesday afternoon, a spokeswoman for the Dekalb County state’s attorney confirmed to CSNChicago.com.
Ross was apparently in Michigan when the incident took place in late August of 2015; because of that, the state of Illinois does not have jurisdiction.
In Illinois, nonconsensual dissemination of a sexual image, also known as 'revenge porn,' is a Class 4 felony punishable by 1-3 years in prison.
The Rockford IceHogs suspended Ross indefinitely earlier this month after they learned of legal proceedings against him. Ross has played in 59 games with the IceHogs this season.
