Five former members of Canada’s world junior hockey team who are charged with sexual assault in connection to an alleged 2018 incident at a hotel in London have chosen to be tried by a jury.
Dillon Dube, Carter Hart, Michael McLeod, Cal Foote and Alex Formenton were charged with sexual assault last month.McLeod is also facing an additional charge of sexual assault for “being a party to the offence.”The players’ lawyers say in a joint written statement that they are confident the jury will be fair and impartial after hearing all the evidence and testimony.
