Crown continues closing submissions in hockey players’ sex assault trial

  • Five men who previously played on Canada's world junior hockey team have been charged with sexually assaulting a woman in a London, Ontario hotel room in June 2018.
  • The alleged assault followed consensual sex with one player before the complainant, known as E.M., says others entered without her consent.
  • Crown lawyer Meaghan Cunningham argued E.M. was in a highly stressful, unpredictable situation and did not voluntarily agree to subsequent acts.
  • Cunningham emphasized that consent needs to be clearly reaffirmed for every individual sexual encounter and characterized E.M.’s compliance as a reaction stemming from trauma.
  • Justice Maria Carroccia will deliver her verdict on July 24 after an eight-week judge-only trial in which the five men pleaded not guilty.
