The Deets
Aight, fam, listen up. There's this ongoing trial with five former junior hockey players – Michael McLeod, Carter Hart, Alex Formenton, Dillon Dube, and Cal Foote. They're all facing sexual assault charges, which is a major L.
The defense is going hard on the complainant, who's being called E.M. They're low-key trying to make her look sus, questioning why she used the words "men" vs. "boys" and hinting she might have an agenda. It's all kinda messy, tbh.
They even brought up her job at SportChek and her family's history with hockey, like her dad's volunteer award and her cousins playing. Like, what does that even have to do with it? 🤔
E.M. said she calls them "men" now 'cause she's older and gets things more, which is fair enough. But the defense is still digging, trying to find something to trip her up. It's giving "trying too hard."
The whole thing allegedly went down in a hotel room back in 2018 during some hockey gala. All the players are saying they're not guilty, and McLeod's fighting an extra charge too. This trial is gonna be a whole saga, y'all.
The lawyers even suggested that E.M. was "taunting and threatening" the hockey players the night in question. One of the defense lawyers mentioned a witness that said E.M. pulled one of the hockey players into the bathroom.
E.M. is testifying by CCTV and can't be ID'd because of a publication ban.
