LONDON, Ont. – Here are the latest developments in the sexual assault case against five former members of Canada’s world junior hockey team: 8:30 a.m. A line is forming outside a London, Ont., courthouse where the sexual assault case against five former members of Canada’s world junior hockey team is set to be heard today. Television cameras have also set up outside the courthouse during the foggy morning hours. Dillon Dube, Cal Foote, Alex Formenton, Carter Hart and Michael McLeod were charged with sexual assault in the case late last month. 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. The charges related to an alleged incident at a hotel in the southwestern Ontario city in June 2018. — This report by The Canadian Press was first published Feb. 5, 2024. 10-9
