Josh Boden, 24, was charged after Vancouver police officers reported seeing him(external link) fondling a woman at the Burrard and Commercial Drive SkyTrain station on Aug. 25, 2009.
Police attempted to arrest him, but he ran away and was eventually taken down after a violent struggle.
After being arrested, Boden was also charged with sexually assaulting a woman on Aug. 13, 2009, in her office building.
Police issued a rare warning to the public(external link) after Boden was released on bail, saying in a release that he posed, "a significant risk to the community."
On Friday in a Vancouver provincial court, Boden was also found guilty of assaulting a police officer and obstructing a police officer.
Boden will now undergo a psychiatric assessment and a pre-sentencing report before returning to court in the new year for sentencing.
Boden was with the Lions as a wide receiver in the 2006-07 CFL season and played one game with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in 2008.
