Hockey Canada: Police announce charges in 2018 World Junior team sexual assault case | FULL

Police in London, Ont. will be holding a press conference regarding a high-profile, multi-year probe into allegations of sexual assault involving players from Canada’s 2018 world junior hockey team as the case is set to make its first appearance in court on Monday.

Five players — Dillon Dube, Cal Foote, Alex Formenton, Carter Hart and Michael McLeod — were charged late last month with sexual assault in an incident that allegedly took place in the city in June 2018. A court document shows McLeod is facing an additional charge of sexual assault for “being a party to the offence.”

Lawyers for the players have said their clients will defend themselves against the allegations, and all five are expected to plead not guilty during their court appearance.
