Judge did not use videos to determine whether woman had consented

July 24, 2025

The judge who acquitted the five men in the Hockey Canada sexual-assault case did not rely on two videos taken of the complainant on the night of her encounter with the accused players to determine whether the woman had consented to sex.

Instead, Justice Maria Carroccia used the videos to assess the woman’s relative sobriety and demeanour at the time they were shot. The judge did not make a major declaration on the the legal value of what are known as consent videos.
