Blackhawks prospect Garret Ross pulled from lineup after being charged with 'revenge porn'

Chicago Blackhawks prospect Garret Ross got benched in Rockford over the weekend and the reason for the move isn't great news. Ross has been accused of one count of non-consensual dissemination of sexual images, also known as the "revenge porn" statute, in DeKalb County, Ill.

A record of the charge against Ross can be found on the DeKalb County circuit clerk's website, which says a preliminary hearing is set for April 22. Non-consensual dissemination of sexual images is a Class 4 felony in the state of Illinois and can carry a prison sentence of one-to-three years.
