OTTAWA - Ex-CFL quarterback Cody Ledbetter was denied bail Friday.
The former Hamilton Tiger-Cat has been in jail on charges of assault causing bodily harm and uttering a threat after a July 31 altercation with his girlfriend in Ottawa.
Ledbetter, 37, surrendered to police last week and faces deportation to the United States.
In 2005, Ledbetter pleaded guilty to two counts of having sex with a 16-year-old girl from the high school in Alvarado, Texas, where he was a coach. He was given 10 years probation.
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram says Ledbetter fled the U.S. in 2009 when it appeared his probation would be revoked; a warrant was issued in January.
The sheriff's office in Johnson County, Texas, put him on the top of its most-wanted list in March.
