OTTAWA (CP) - A former NHL agent who was the target of a bizarre murder-for-hire plot by one of his players is facing a long list of sex charges in connection with several alleged incidents involving young people in eastern Ontario.
David Frost, who used to represent disgraced St. Louis Blues forward Mike Danton, has been charged with twelve counts of sexual exploitation and one count of assault.
The charges are related to alleged incidents involving four boys and three girls, all between the ages of 14 and 16, between 1995 and 2001.
Police refused to say if the teens were involved in hockey and wouldn't provide any further details of the incidents, which allegedly took place in the Deseronto and Napanee area of eastern Ontario.
The charges follow a two-year investigation by the Criminal Investigations Branch of the Ontario Provincial Police.
''There is currently a publication ban in place to protect the identity of the victims,'' said police spokeswoman Sgt. Kristine Rae.
Rae refused to say whether the alleged incidents took place during Frost's time behind the bench of the Tier II Deseronto Quinte Hawks junior hockey team.
''At this point in time, we are not releasing any further details regarding this situation.''
Danton, from Brampton, Ont., northwest of Toronto, is currently serving a 7 1/2-year sentence in a New Jersey prison for his role in a $10,000 US plot to kill Frost.
Frost is scheduled to appear Wednesday in court in Napanee, about 40 kilometres west of Kingston.
Ottawa lawyer Michael Edelson, who represents Frost, was not immediately available for comment.
Danton's father introduced his son to Frost when the boy was 11 years old. Frost first became the young player's coach, and later his agent. Frost's influence over his young charge continued to grow, and Danton spent much of his spare time with Frost.
In a letter written from a U.S. prison to an Ottawa newspaper, Danton said his troubling childhood with his biological family drove him into a surrogate relationship with his agent.
Danton described their relationship as ''father-son'' and said he learned basic hygiene and manners from Frost.
It was Frost's peculiar relationship with his players as a coach over the years and later as Danton's agent that was the subject of an investigation by the CBC current affairs program The Fifth Estate earlier this year.
During his time behind the bench of other minor league teams, Frost was dogged by controversy - he was banned by the Ontario Hockey Association and suspended by the Metropolitan Toronto Hockey League.
Frostie was "hiding" in Pembroke as recently as last year thanks to his buddy Sheldon Keefe, who set Frost up to coach kids hockey. If there is any justice, he'll serve time till he rots.
