Two sport stars:
Mike Tyson - young lady accompanied Tyson back to his hotel room where later accused him of rape, Tyson claimed the sex was consensual but was convicted of rape and got 6 years.
Kobe Bryant - A young hotel employee accused Bryant of raping her in his hotel room, first Kobe claimed he didn't have sex with her but after finding out she had taken an exam that yielded physical evidence, a semen sample, he changed his story and stated that the sex was consensual. case was dropped when she was unwilling to testify, and of course the terms of the later settlement were not disclosed.
Tyson will always be known as a great boxer and rapist, Bryant went to his death as a sports hero with a statue in front of the Crypto arena.
Moral of the story, the boys and hockey canada didn't give her enough money.

I think with Dube's situation, it wasn't the accused that made a settlement with the accuser, but Hockey Canada. Because they rely on sponsors and funding, the paper trail is a little more transparent and questions started to come up by people paying attention.
If the hockey players paid the settlement with their own funds, I wonder if things would have gotten to this point.
