Ribeiro is accused of sexually assaulting his former nanny, whose name has been withheld from the public as of this time. The Predators blog On the Forecheck has obtained documents filed Thursday in the U.S. District Court that go into vivid detail about the accusations.
The case was first filed in 2014. Ribeiro is accused of numerous unwanted sexual advances on the nanny between 2007, when she was 12, and 2012, when she was 18. The most serious assault is alleged to have happened in 2012, when the nanny was staying with Ribeiro’s family for two weeks helping them prepare for a move to Virginia after he’d signed with the Washington Capitals.

In 2014, after one year in Phoenix, Ribeiro was bought out of a four-year, $22 million that he originally signed with the team as free agent in 2013. It was initially reported as "behavioral issues related to alcohol use" as the reason for the buyout. The case was also filed in 2014, so it might appear to some that this lead to the buyout from Phoenix. Pure speculation on my part however.
Also, there is a link within that link that provide more details, but they are also more graphic and may be upsetting to read.
