Stanley Cup champion Patrick Kane is reportedly the subject of a rape investigation in his hometown of Hamburg, N.Y.
The Chicago Blackhawks’ star winger was accused of sexual assault by a Buffalo woman, stemming from an incident that happened this past weekend. The woman visited the hospital after the incident, and a “rape case” was used, reports the Buffalo News.
This is not Kane’s first brush-up with the law. Back in 2009, Kane and his cousin pleaded to disorderly conduct after the pair was accused of assaulting a taxi driver in Buffalo.
The Patrick Kane investigation is a rape investigation.

However, there is a belief from multiple sources Kane might turn himself in as early as today.
