Former striker “Vancouver” and “Spartacus” Jake Virtanen found not guilty in sexual assault case sportsnet .
The trial took place in the Supreme Court of British Columbia. It turned out that Virtanen and a girl named Colleen Elden met in 2017, keeping in touch from a distance. That same year, Elden came to Vancouver to meet her family and invited Virtanen to meet. The hockey player picked her up from her friend’s house and took her to her hotel room.
