What are the possible sentences for "being convicted of having done nothing wrong"?

Or, a convoluted way to say "convicted."

Chicago Blackhaws star Patrick Kane, an accused sexual assaultist, has 
apologized -- not to his (alleged) victim, because "he has too much respect 
for the legal process", but to his family, teammates, "this incredible 
organization and, of course, our fans."

He adds, "I am confident once all the facts are brought to light I will be 
absolved of having done nothing wrong."
