Justice Maria Carroccia’s acquitted five former Canadian world junior hockey players of sexual assault in a high-profile trial in London, Ont. Michael McLeod, Carter Hart, Alex Formenton, Dillon Dube and Callan Foote had been charged in relation to a 2018 incident involving the complainant, identified as E.M. due to a publication ban, in a London, Ont., hotel room. “Considering the evidence in this trial as a whole, I conclude that the Crown cannot meet its onus on any of the counts,” she said, adding that she did not find the complainant’s testimony to be “either credible or reliable.”
