Barmymoo:
I'm certainly not in the public eye and my "contract" (as a student, I don't technically have one, but the same will apply when I qualify) contains a good character clause. If I do anything that shows me to be of poor character, which domestic abuse would definitely be considered to be, I would be thrown off the course and debarred from ever working as a midwife.

In other news, Bob Suter - Miracle On Ice defenseman, University of Wisconsin stand-out, and father to a lying, greedy, traitorous SOB NHL Defenseman Ryan, passed away yesterday at the young age of 57.
GarandMarine:
Committing a possible felony will get you fired in most jobs honestly.
The Seldom Killer:
Can be tricky if the victim is unwilling to support action/prosecution against the perpetrator which appears to be situation in this case.

Out of interest, roughly where would you draw the line on this one?
For instance, in the UK we have Ched Evans, a football player for the team Sheffield United who is a convicted rapist. Despite continuing to protest his innocence, he is expected to rejoin his team when he is released from prison shortly. Then there's the whole Ray Rice thing that has resulted in a lifetime ban. And consider the whole litany of football players in the UK who have convictions for drink driving, including Luke McCormick who killed two people whilst driving under the influence, all of which have returned to the sport full-time.
Is there anything outside of a player's sport that you feel would merit a termination of their job or a ban by the governing authority?
