Blackhawks suspend prospect Garret Ross amid revenge-porn charges

The Blackhawks suspended prospect Garret Ross amid the felony charge he is facing under Illinois' new revenge-porn law.

Ross, a 23-year-old left winger, is accused of distributing a sexual image without the person's consent. According to police, the woman involved said Ross took a video she sent to one of his teammates with whom she had previous relations. Ross then distributed the video in August 2015 without her consent after he allegedly said the woman was the cause of his breakup with his girlfriend.
