Complainant in Hockey Canada trial initially tried to resist, but felt she had no choice, Crown argues

The woman who alleges she was sexually assaulted by five former world junior hockey players in 2018 in a London, Ont., hotel room initially tried to resist but felt she had no choice but to comply, a lawyer for the prosecution asserted Thursday during closing arguments.The woman, known as E.M. because her name is protected by a court publication ban, had consensual sex with one player, but alleges she didn’t agree to further sexual acts with additional hockey players who came into the hotel room afterward. On Thursday, Crown lawyer Meaghan Cunningham described the situation as “highly stressful and unpredictable.”
