Deep Blue Sea: Kane assault case moves to lift stay

If you thought things couldn’t get worse for Evander Kane, you were most definitely wrong.

The San Jose Sharks forward may be facing more trouble, as the victim in his 2015 sexual assault investigation is now asking the bankruptcy court to allow her case to proceed, per Daniel Kaplan of The Athletic.

Rachel Kuechle has asked the federal bankruptcy court to partially lift the stay on her lawsuit filed five years ago, which could lead to more messy legal issues with Kane.

In January, Kane filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, which has since led to four different lawsuits in the process, including both Kuechle’s case and Hope Parker’s 2018 suit which claims that Kane financially coerced her into terminating multiple pregnancies, but never made good on the financial promise.
