Crown set to cross-examine one of five hockey players accused of sexual assault
- Carter Hart testified on June 19, 2018, about a sexual encounter allegation involving himself and four other hockey players in London, Ontario.
- The alleged incident occurred after the team’s Hockey Canada celebration and was prompted by a group chat text from teammate Michael McLeod inviting others to a 'three-way quick.'
- Hart said he arrived drunk, had gaps in memory, and that the woman initiated sexual activity, which he described as brief, consensual oral sex lasting 30 to 60 seconds, with no intercourse or bodily contact.
- All five players—Hart, McLeod, Formenton, Dube, and Foote—deny the sexual assault allegations against them. In addition to the primary charge, McLeod faces a separate accusation of being involved as a party to the offence, while Hart is set to undergo cross-examination.
- The trial has seen two jury dismissals and now proceeds by judge alone, with its outcome potentially affecting the reputations and careers of the accused players amid ongoing legal scrutiny.
