The Los Angeles County district attorney has charged Kings defenseman Slava Voynov with one count of felony domestic abuse, as first reported by theLos Angeles Times. Voynov has been suspended since the incident in late October; did not hit his wife, Marta Varlamova, but did confirm, without offering specifics, that she was injured and needed medical attention. MORE: Thursday's charge, which includes willfully inflicting bodily harm, suggests that the evidence does not support that claim. If the 24-year-old Voynov is convicted as charged, he could face up to nine years in prison under California law, and his immigration status would be in jeopardy. His arraignment is Dec. 1. From the police pre s release: During an argument Cade Stover Jersey at their Redondo Beach home on Oct. 19, Voynov caused his wife to suffer injuries to her eyebrow, cheek and neck, prosecutors said. The injuries were serious and required medical attentionat a local hospital where the defendant was arrested, prosecutors added. Voynov, per a statement from lawyer Craig Renetzky, is disappointed in the decision,"maintains his innocence and looks forward to clearing his name in court. We remain confident." Varlamova's lawyer released a statement : Marta was stunned by the news today and she is devastated. She did not believe, and does not believe, that her husband intended to injure her and she believes that he is not guilty of any crime. She is worried about her family's privacy and concerned that she and her family are going to be subject to ridicule, embarra sment and hatred because of this decision. In fact, she has already seen that beginning to happen. It is unfortunate that no one seemed to care what she wants, and that the authorities gave little or no weight to her view of the facts of the case. Despite this unwelcome news, she still expects her husband to be cleared of any criminal wrongdoing. The Kings have supported Voynov's suspension, but GM Dean Lombardi was outspoken earlier this week over the fact that Voynov's $4.1 million salary still counts against the salary cap. Commi sioner Gary Bettman defended the decision on Monday. "(Bettman) says i sue of cap relief not warranted and is just cap management," . "I need to create some space in case (a player)robs a bank." That same day, Lombardi that teams get cap relief for other i sues, likePED suspensions. He also touched on something else. Quite frankly, Im beyond caring about reinstatement or cap relief, Lombardi said. My biggest concern is that if he is charged with a felony, this one incident could jeopardize Slavas entire career. The Kings released a statement later Thursday:"We maintain our support of the NHLs indefinite suspension of Slava Voynov. As an organization we will continue to closely monitor the developments of the legal proceedings and work in partnership with the NHL to determine the proper course of action in the future."
