Kyle Beach reveals he is the player suing the Chicago Blackhawks over sex assault
A former Chicago Blackhawks player came forward publicly as the man who filed a lawsuit against the hockey team over how the organization mishandled his sexual assault allegations.
In a televised interview Wednesday night, Kyle Beach revealed himself as the previously anonymous John Doe who filed a lawsuit in May against the team. According to his allegations, Beach had complained to team leaders back in 2010 that video coach Brad Aldrich sexually assaulted him.
Upper management of the Blackhawks ignored his complaints until after the team won the Stanley Cup that season.
On Tuesday, an independent investigation confirmed Beach's claims. After the 107-page report was published, the team ousted two top officials who were there at the time of Beach's assault: Blackhawks General Manager Stan Bowman and senior director of hockey operations Al MacIsaac.
Beach, who is now a professional hockey player in Germany, said during the interview with TSN that he felt vindicated by the report.
"It was no longer my word against everybody else's," he said.
