Advocates describe ‘heartbreaking’ verdict in Hockey Canada trial

July 24, 2025

Five former junior hockey players were acquitted of sexual assault after a trial that included seven days of gruelling cross-examination of the complainant by different defence lawyers. In delivering her ruling, the judge said the woman was not credible.
