Defence resumes questioning woman in sexual assault trial for ex-Team Canada junior hockey players
Defence lawyers representing players on Canada's 2018 world junior hockey team will continue to cross-examine the complainant today.
Over the course of the week, counsel has grilled E.M. about her own conduct in London, Ont., in 2018. They have asked her how much alcohol she drank, how she danced at Jack's bar and how she was 'acting' in the hotel room during the alleged assault.
The lawyer representing Carter Hart, one of the accused, said her client and his teammates 'assumed' E.M. consented to the group sexual activity at the Delta hotel because she was behaving in a certain 'way' and putting on a 'performance.' E.M. said she might have appeared to be OK in the room, but her body was on 'autopilot' as she struggled to grasp what was happening to her.
E.M. said the men should have known she wasn't agreeing to the sexual activity because she was outnumbered and heavily intoxicated.
The players – Hart, Dillon Dubé, Cal Foote, Alex Formenton and Michael McLeod – are on trial for sexual assault. They have all pleaded not guilty.
