Former Vancouver Canucks centre Ryan Kesler has been charged with two counts of fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct in Michigan.
Court documents show that 41-year-old Kesler was arraigned Monday in Bloomfield Hills District Court, where he pleaded not guilty to both misdemeanor charges. The alleged incidents took place on January 1 in Orchard Lake, Michigan.
A probable-cause hearing is scheduled for November 6, followed by a preliminary examination on November 13. Kesler was released on a US$5,000 bond.
Kesler, a native of Livonia, Michigan, played for the Vancouver Canucks from 2003 to 2014 before being traded to the Anaheim Ducks, where he remained until retiring in 2019. He also represented the United States in the 2010 and 2014 Olympics, won the Frank J. Selke Trophy in 2011 as the NHL’s top defensive forward, and was part of Vancouver’s 2011 Stanley Cup Final team.
