Is Carter Hart Arrested? NHL Player Investigated For 2018 Sexual Assault Scandal
Until now, there has been no information regarding Carter’s arrest. On January 23, 2024, the Philadelphia Flyers announced that Hart would take an indefinite leave from the ice hockey team for personal reasons.
It is speculated that his absence is related to his alleged involvement in a 2018 sexual assault case.

2018 Sexual Assualt Scandal
The Canadian team won the gold at the 2018 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships. They later attended the Hockey Canada Foundation Gala & Golf event on June 18, 2018.
After that, there was a claim of a group assault in London, Ontario.
The police believe there is a good reason to think that five members of the 2018 Canada World Juniors sexually assaulted an unnamed woman in a local hotel room.
However, nobody filed a case then, so the investigation this time might take deep research.
Moving on, on January 24, 2024, The Globe and Mail, citing sources whose names are under the curtain, stated that London police had instructed five team members to surrender.
The alleged players are Carter Hart, Dillon Dubé, Alex Formenton, Cal Foote, and Michael McLeod. They are currently absent from the team, showing different reasons for their leave.
With the ongoing investigation, their future in the hockey field may collapse forever.
