Player who has had his contract terminated twice this season signs with a third team!

Another month, another pro team for 31 year old convicted sex offender Ben Johnson.

Johnson, a 3rd round selection by the New Jersey Devils in 2012, has reportedly signed with the FPHL's Baton Rouge Zydeco.

In November the ECHL's Adirondack Thunder signed and then terminated a standard player contract for Johnson. Then last month the ECHL's Allen Americans did the the same.

The Americans signed Johnson but released him just a day later following some pretty severe backlash on social media.

There are rumors that both team management for the Thunder and the Americans had no clue about Johnson's prior convictions. It'll be interesting to see how things play out for him with his new club.

The Calumet, Michigan native was found guilty of two counts of sexual assault in connection from two separate incidents that took place in Windsor, ON during his time with the OHL's Windsor Spitfires.

From Wikipedia:

The first occurred against a 16-year-old girl in the washroom of Mynt nightclub during the Spitfires' end of season St. Patrick's Day party. Johnson forced her to perform oral sex in a bathroom stall while she was intoxicated before he raped her, causing vaginal bleeding.[7][8] During the course of the investigation, a second woman, aged 20, came forward and told police that she had also been sexually assaulted by Johnson in the washroom of a second bar weeks prior.[9] He was found guilty on September 1, 2016, of the charge related to events at the Mynt nightclub.

The New Jersey Devils, who had drafted him 90th overall in 2012, terminated his contract the day he was found guilty. He served a 3 year prison sentence at the South West Detention Centre in Windsor, ON.

After playing parts of four seasons in the Slovak league, Johnson was evidently looking to continue his pro career back in North America this season but has failed to catch on with a team just yet.
