Corey Trivino Arrested: Boston University Hockey Star Faces Rape, Indecent Assault Charges

Boston University hockey star Corey Trivino was arrested on Sunday and charged with three counts of indecent assault and battery, along with one count of assault with attempt to rape and two counts of breaking and entering in the nighttime, Art Jahnke of BU Today reports.

Trivino was arrested by Boston University Police around 11 p.m. after he allegedly "pushed his way into the room of a female student" while intoxicated and started groping her against her will.

The 21-year-old pleaded not guilty on Monday. The Boston Hockey Blog reports that Trivino had to surrender his Canadian passport but was released without bail. If he wanted to use the passport, then he would need to post a bail of $25,000.

BU head coach Jack Parker said Trivino is "no longer associated with the BU hockey team."

According to The Daily Free Press, Parker suspended Trivino and teammate Vinny Saponari back in March after they showed up late to a bike ride. The bike ride was said to be punishment for an alleged incident in which a handful of Terriers went out drinking on St. Patrick's Day. Trivino was underage at the time.

Trivino leads Hockey East with 13 goals in 15 games and was selected by the New York Islanders in the second of the 2008 draft. Long considered a top talent, Trevino was named the Ontario Hockey Association's top prospect in 2008.

I thought Canadians were supposed to be nice.

It would be nice if you'd wait for a trial before you convict him. We're still innocent until proven guilty in the US, no?

Innocent until proven guilty, but I'd put money on the fact that he's guilty. Recent BU alum here, and I heard plenty of stories of his drunken escapades last year. He's had a number of alcohol-related problems on the team over the past few years, and refused to seek treatment after Coach Parker suggested it. It's a shame that someone so talented didn't get help before something like this happened, but what's done is done. I just hope that he learns from this, and that this serves as a wake-up call. My heart goes out to the victim; there's no excuse for aggression and assault, no matter who the aggressor is or how much alcohol they've been drinking.

In a court this is true. In a comments section it isn't.

What a friggin idiot? I worked night security at a dorm where many of the athletics underclassmen were housed. I remember walking my rounds and have seen lines of girls outside an athlete's door. I'm sure he could've gotten any girl he wants. There are all sorts of sports groupies out there. All that potential and it's mistake after mistake. Some people just don't know how good they have it.

If guilty of these crimes, Trivino should get the maximum sentence under the law.

The sense of entitlement top athletes have is sickening and too often leads to abusive (usually against women) behavior.

College hockey (men and women) is exciting and fun. Pro hockey with the "enforcers" and fights and the "fans" encouraging the fights not so much fun. Actually quite disturbing. Roman coliseum disturbing.

Hockey players are nothing but thugs anyway!

Nat -

I am willing to bet you have never been to a hockey game, you have never seen the game played and have never had someone explain the game to you.

It is far from a game of thugs, and in fact interestingly - NCAA rules keep fighting out of college hockey.

I know several professional athletes (other sports) that will tell you playing hockey is one of the hardest things to do well.

You lost that bet. My firm just happens to have box seats in Raleigh where I entertain clients regularly. Its also where I lament how barbaric fighting in hockey is, versus the hits that people puke over in football. So how much were you willing to bet? $10,000?

The more you post about hating hockey the more I think you really like it ;) Or you just don't know what you're talking about. yup, the latter

[NatTurner1]

So Hockey players are not thugs? Let me guess, they are choir boys and their barbaric fisticuffs is proof? Typical!

Already disciplined and kicked off the team for underage drinking and breaking team rules, now under arrest for a drunken assault and attempted rape. I see a great future for this punk in the NHL.

LoL -

Because the NHL has so many convicted felons playing in it.

I ahte to say this, but as a former athlete, why does this crop up so much? Why must athletics be so intertwined with abuse? Is it the entitlement of the players or their enablers who make them feel no consequences for their actions? I know it may be a small minority, but this is scary how a cycle of abuse perpetuates.

If he had played basketball, posters would have rushed to condemn all players as "thugs" or worse. But here he's treated as a white boy stealing a kiss.

[h111aryc1inton]

09:39 AM on 12/14/2011

Please explain - he was arrested, removed from campus housing, & kicked off the team.

No one is treating this as a frat boy prank.

My problem is not with the school's reaction which is probably appropriate but with the reactions of the posters. Every time there is a story about a basketball scandal various posters will use the opportunity for thinly veiled racist remarks. They didn't on this story.

This kid is just as repulsive as the basketball thugs who commit similar crimes - no more repulsive, no less repulsive.

Really, in what way?

[Agdoc]

09:17 AM on 12/14/2011

Yeah, are you suggesting this equates to a mentally deranged hooker falsely accusing some players of rape and being supported by an out-of-control D.A.?

[Agdoc]

09:18 AM on 12/14/2011

This guy forced his way into a dorm room, assaulted a coed and tried to rape her. Big difference. HUGE. If you can't see that....

If you wanna get away with this play football, americans don't care about hockey.

[DaniFoxy]

08:33 AM on 12/14/2011

Uh, there are a lot of Americans who are fanatical about hockey.

[tedhices]

I was born and raised plaing hockey, that is why I know most americans do not care about it.

Ted - they most certainly care about hockey in the Boston area.

And as a hockey fan - a lot of other places also.

Just expell him from the US with the threat of re-arrest and trial if he ever shows his face in the country again. That should take care of his planned hockey career.

[JohnnyKay]

And the Victim?

What sentence are you handing down for her with "just" his expulsion?

Hockey needs a lot of housecleaning.
