US EditionComplainant to continue testifying at hockey players’ sexual assault trial
- Five ex-players from Canada's junior national hockey squad of 2018 are on trial for allegedly sexually assaulting a woman in London, Ontario, in June 2018.
- Michael McLeod, Dillon Dubé, along with teammates Carter Hart, Callan Foote, and Alex Formenton, have all entered pleas of not guilty in connection with sexual assault allegations stemming from an incident at a downtown London hotel.
- The Crown's case focuses on consent, presenting two short videos recorded by McLeod that they argue do not prove ongoing or full consent during the alleged incident.
- Expert Lisa Kerr explains that consent must be given continuously throughout an encounter and cannot be presumed from prior agreement, cautioning that video footage alone does not definitively establish consent for specific actions and that the surrounding circumstances are crucial.
- The trial continues as the woman testifies about her impaired state from alcohol and the alleged assault following a gala celebrating the team's gold-medal win.
