A London court on Thursday heard legal arguments in the sexual assault case of five former members of Canada’s world junior hockey team.
Dillon Dube, Carter Hart, Michael McLeod, Cal Foote and Alex Formenton were charged earlier this year in connection with an alleged sexual assault at a hotel in 2018.
They are all charged with sexual assault, though McLeod also faces an additional charge of sexual assault for “being a party to the offence.”
None of the players were present in court for the hearing, and the issues discussed at the hearing cannot be reported at this time due to a publication ban.
A trial is set to take place next year.
