A negligence lawsuit against the Chicago Blackhawks tied to their handling of sexual assault allegations against former video coach Brad Aldrich was dismissed, according to the Chicago Sun-Times' Ben Pope.
Court records don't indicate whether the suit was dismissed by a judge or settled out of court, and neither the plaintiff, John Doe 2, nor the defendant provided a comment to Pope.
In October, Kyle Beach identified himself as John Doe 1, who said in a lawsuit that Aldrich sexually assaulted him in 2010. Beach also said Blackhawks officials were alerted to the allegations and failed to properly investigate the matter at the time or forward the claim to local authorities.
