Well I for one hope this is a matter of maybe false charges or miss understandings But really not a fact..

He would be near the bottom of the list if I had to guess a name of a former moose player who did something like this (whatever it is). Small guy, always seemed very modest and quiet.

Not what I'd expect from Yeti. It doesn't sound good though as there are now charges involving three different women.

I am really shocked hope there was none here and if so I would say to them to call the number and tell your story..Yetman sounds like he needs help here not a very healthy person wanting to choke or assault women..He may have more history as this comes to the public...

That does not sound good at all, he was a good kid. I won't pass judgement on him as of yet though, I'll wait for more details and hopefully they are more favorable.

"Yetman had been in custody since his arrest Jan. 26 by Niagara Regional Police on a charge of sexual assault against a St. Catharines woman the same day.
Police subsequently laid further charges against Yetman for alleged sexual assaults against two Thorold women in the same incident.
Yetman is charged with three counts of sexual assault, two counts of choking and one count of threatening."
It has a strange ring to it all ... he allegedly sexually assaulted 3 women "in the same incident". Sexual Assault can take many forms ... but most people think of a full on rape when they hear the term. Somehow I doubt he raped 3 women in the same incident. The sexual assault may be as simple as groping ... still a sex crime but not at the same level as a violent rape. I find the use of the term Sexual Assault as an all encompassing term can be very misleading and damaging to the person being accused.
I'm obviously trying to understand it all with very limited information ... but it all has a red flag about it for me. Unfortunately ... allegations of sexual assault have been falsely applied far too many times in the past ... and that tends to make you skeptical instead of being sympathetic toward the alleged vicitims.

I agree with you Steve but the counts of choking and threatening make it a little harder to be very sympathetic towards the accused... and if it was as simple a charge as groping I don't think he would have been held in custody for that long

I think there were two separate incidents from what I have read: one back in December involving two women and one on Jan 26th involving a 3rd woman. I'm still nor rushing to judgement until the whole story is out though. Yetman just doesn't seem the type from what I know of him. I guess his college year is over regardless as he's not allowed in the Niagara region except for legal proceedings. |

The whole story as much as I have read in the newspapers does not make too much sense ! I guess the real story will come out at his trial or trials on the charges.
