It basically boils down to investigating/confirming the allegations and whether there's grounds for firing him with cause (without pay). Trickier as the incident in question happened 10yrs ago with a different organization. Without the proper legal process Peters could turn around and sue the Flames for wrongful dismissal.
Who knows if there's a morals clause in the contract that covers this type of behavior, regardless of timeline. But it's definitely the timeline thing that makes this a legal/contractual/PR nightmare.
