Evidence shows how alleged victim in 2018 World Junior case wrongfully accused current Stars player!

The defence cross-examination continued on Friday and revealed a note from the victim that pointed at a different player from the 2018 Canada roster. Full story below:

The trial for five players on Team Canada’s 2018 World Junior hockey continued on Friday with more cross-examination of E.M., the complainant in the sexual assault trial of five ex-members of Canada’s world junior hockey team.

The lawyer of Alex Formenton, one of the accused, Daniel Brown kept questioning E.M. about how much she had to drink at London, Ont., bar the night of the alleged assault. He then produced a handwritten note on which it revealed that E.M. first accused Sam Steel, another member of the 2018 world juniors team who’s currently with the NHL’s Dallas Stars, as one of the man present during the alleged assault.

This is the breakdown of that cross-examination by Formenton’s lawyer, via CBC:

“Handwriting under the photo says, “I don’t remember him from Jack’s but he was in the room and I performed oral on him.”

Brown and E.M. agree the London police detective wrote down E.M.’s responses to the picture at the time of their interview in 2018.

“You wrongfully accused [Steel],” Brown said after some back and forth.

Court has heard somebody else ultimately identified another defendant, Carter Hart, as a suspect who allegedly received oral sex from E.M.

“OK,” E.M. responds.

E.M. has been asked several times over the last few days about her inability to distinguish between some of the players, in particular those with blondish hair.”

As the court headed to break moments later, it was also established that E.M. could not identify the players when they first got to the bar that night. Sa video of players from the world junior team entering Jack’s bar one after the other, Brown asked E.M. if she recognizes any of the men.

“I didn’t know anybody that night.”

A lot more than what the public first knew about this case is getting revealed, and of course the defence lawyers are not going easy on E.M. during their cross-examinations.

Dillon Dubé, Cal Foote, Alex Formenton, Carter Hart and Michael McLeod have pleaded not guilty.

The court will be back in session later today.
