US Edition5 ex-world junior hockey players plead not guilty to sexual assault as jury selection starts in London, Ont.
- Five members of Canada's 2018 World Junior Hockey Team have pleaded not guilty to sexual assault charges in London, Ontario, stemming from an incident in June 2018 involving an intoxicated young woman after consensual sex with one player.
- Prosecutor Heather Donkers stated that the complainant is expected to testify about feeling drunk and pressured during the incident, with claims that she 'went along with what the men wanted.'
- The prosecution claims the players acted without ensuring the complainant's affirmative consent and merely did what they wanted instead.
- The trial is anticipated to last around eight weeks, with testimonies expected from the complainant, other witnesses, and a police officer involved in the investigation.
