Seven victims, how sad is that. I have zero patience for this stuff, and yeah, I know he hasn't been found guilty yet. I don't know how many of you went a little ways in hockey, but when you're 14-16 years old and you're a pretty good player, you are very vulnerable and willing to listen to supposed hockey people that are telling you you are going to make it. Despicable.
David Frost, the former agent of jailed NHL player Mike Danton, has been arrested by Ontario Provincial Police for sexual exploitation and assault, CBC has learned.
Former player agent David Frost made headlines over the past two years for his relationship with jailed NHL player Mike Danton.

The charges stem from incidents occurring between 1995 and 2001 in the Deseronto and Napanee area.
Frost, 39, was charged with 12 counts of sexual exploitation and one count of assault of seven victims - four males and three females between the ages of 14 and 16.
The arrest follows a two-year investigation after complaints were received.
Frost is scheduled to appear in a Napanee court on Wednesday.
Frost's name has been in the headlines over the past two years for his relationship with Danton, who was sentenced to 71/2 years in a U.S. prison in November of 2004 for plotting to have Frost killed.
Frost, who resigned as an NHL agent last December, has denied he was the intended target of the murder-for-hire plot.
Before becoming a player agent, Frost spent several years coaching minor and junior hockey
His tenure as a bench boss was not without controversy, however, as he pleaded guilty to assault charges and was banned by the Ontario Hockey Association and suspended by the Metropolitan Toronto Hockey League (now known as the Greater Toronto Hockey League) within a four-season span.
It was Frost's relationship with Danton, Sheldon Keefe, Ryan Barnes and Shawn Cation that caused the most controversy. Frost coached and advised the foursome when they played for the Quinte Hawks of the Metro Junior Hockey League and became heavily involved in the lives and development of his players when he lived in the same hotel as his young clients.
Accusations began to fly that the players were brainwashed by the agent, and that Frost exerted a powerful hold over the youths.
The players, known as the Quinte Four, wound up playing together for the St. Michael's Majors of the Ontario Hockey League during the 1997-98 season, before they were traded as a pack in a controversial deal to the Barrie Colts in 1999.
Majors management reportedly didn't approve of the influence he had over the players, an accusation that has repeatedly been levied against Frost over the years.
Despite the allegations, the players remained resolute in their allegiance to the agent.
Danton has continually defended Frost since his imprisonment.
