Former NHL center Mike Ribeiro has finally seen an end to the case which resulted in charges against the player on April 13th, 2022.

The incident, which by all means is disturbing has pleaded guilty to a charge of "Indecent A******" which took place at the former players home in 2021.

Ribeiro's case has drawn attention across the media due to the fact he has had run-ins with the law prior to the A****** charges.

These newest charges give us an idea of his troubled past and show the judicial system that his errors haven't been corrected. As he's had similar allegations held against him before.

On April 13th, 2022, the indictment against Ribeiro was entered into the system in Franklin County, Texas after complaints from two women were received. The details were terrifying as court documents show that Ribeiro conducted himself with no restraint and regard for bodily autonomy.

He'd a***** the women on June 30th, 2021 by using his fingers, and another said he a******** her with his s***** organ.

These allegations brought public scrutiny against the former NHL star, once celebrated and now disgraced.

Ribeiro would plead guilty to touching the victim without their consent, which has since led to a conviction from the a****** which may have been drawn out instead with a long trial if he hadn't accepted responsibility.

As he's accepted his plea deal, questions should be in the air about his conduct in his own household, as it is troubling news.

For now, he will forego further drama in the spotlight. Despite this, all one victim who had testified against Ribeiro felt that the crime was worth forgiving, despite his monstrous acts. Though the movement was touching, was it what he really deserved?

He was ordered to pay a $4000 fine and was credited with his 24 hours spent in jail. However, this isn't the first time he's been accused of s***** a****** in 2012 he was sued by a nanny, and these allegations have led to Ribeiro instead of being honored by the NHL in any shape or form, led to long-term disgrace and shame for the former center.
