The jury found Ribeiro not guilty on two of the charges, while the third charge resulted in a mistrial as the jury couldn't reach a unanimous verdict after hours of deliberation.
It remains uncertain whether Ribeiro will face a retrial for the third charge. Following the ruling on Friday, Ribeiro and his attorney opted not to provide comments, likely eager to move past this challenging situation.
Ribeiro, a seasoned player with over 1000 NHL games under his belt, had stints with the Montreal Canadiens, Dallas Stars, Washington Capitals, Phoenix Coyotes, and Nashville Predators throughout his career.
