US EditionWoman testifies about alleged sexual assault by members of Canada’s 2018 world juniors team
- A woman identified as E.M. Testified in a London, Ontario court regarding her alleged sexual assault by five ex-players from Canada’s national junior hockey team in June 2018.
- The incident followed a night of drinking and dancing, after which E.M. Said she was in a hotel room where she felt forced to adopt a 'porn star persona' to cope with the men's demands.
- During cross-examination, defence lawyer Megan Savard challenged inconsistencies in E.M.'s statements and suggested her actions may have appeared consensual, while prosecutors allege the men obtained sexual acts without consent.
- E.M. Acknowledged memory gaps, including not recalling specific acts or identities except for McLeod and Formenton, and explained that she did not fully review a statement prepared by her lawyers for Hockey Canada in 2022.
- All five accused hockey players have pleaded not guilty, and the case highlights complexities around consent, memory, and the interpretation of E.M.'s behaviour during the alleged assault.
