## Sexual assault allegation

[edit]

In 2015, Andrey represented Brazil at the Pan American Games.[5] The Toronto Police Service issued arrest warrants for him and teammate Lucas Piazon, on charges of sexual assault of a 21-year-old woman whom they met at the Drake nightclub;[6] allegedly, Piazon and Ventura entered the woman's bedroom after she had gone to sleep and then assaulted her.[5] The police stated that due to the limited nature of the Ontario-wide nature of the warrant, "we can't go through the extradition process."[7][8]

The charges against Piazon were later dropped, although the charges against Andrey Ventura still stand.[9]
