US EditionFormer world junior hockey players’ sex assault trial paused due to juror illness
- Five former members of Canada’s 2018 world junior hockey team face sexual assault charges in a London, Ontario trial that paused on Thursday due to juror illness.
- The alleged assault occurred in June 2018 at a London hotel during a gala event, and all accused players—including McLeod, Formenton, Hart, Dube, and Foote—pled not guilty to their charges.
- Washington Capitals forward Taylor Raddysh, not accused of wrongdoing, testified remotely Wednesday from Arlington, Virginia, stating he recalls little about the incident night.
- Michael McLeod, 27, faces two charges, including involvement in the sexual assault, while Formenton, Hart, Dube, and Foote each have a single sexual assault charge pending against them; all have entered pleas of not guilty.
- The trial’s continuation depends on the juror's recovery, with Justice Carroccia expecting the jury to resume and hear more testimony from Raddysh on Friday.
