A Windsor judge is to rule today if a former OHL hockey player should be placed in custody while awaiting sentencing for sexual assault.

Twenty-two-year-old Ben Johnson was found guilty yesterday of sexually assaulting a 16-year-old girl in the washroom of a Windsor bar in March of 2013. Johnson, who played for the Windsor Spitfires, pleaded not guilty a year ago and testimony included both Johnson and the complainant taking the stand.

Johnson was released under his current bail conditions ahead of today’s ruling.
