Ex-QMJHL player Noah Corson to serve jail time in Quebec sex-assault case

Noah Corson, who played junior hockey in Quebec, received a sentence of two years less a day in prison on Monday in Drummondville for the sexual assault of a 15-year-old girl that took place in 2016.
Corson, then 18 and playing with the Drummondville Voltigeurs, was found guilty on February 9, 2024, after the judge ruled he did not take reasonable steps to verify the victim's age.
The assault took place during a group encounter with two other 17-year-old minors who admitted guilt in youth court, and Corson stated he thought the victim was at minimum 16 years old.
Judge Paul Dunnigan sentenced Corson to two years less a day in jail, noting hockey culture's possible influence on his attitude and that the Crown sought 30 months while the defence requested community service.
Corson's lawyers are appealing the verdict, and the case highlights issues of age verification and the possible impact of athlete status on behavior and accountability.
