Videos of complainant on night of alleged sexual assault are not evidence of consent, Crown attorney asserts in Hockey Canada trial

June 13, 2025
Cellphone videos of the complainant saying “it was all consensual” on the night she was allegedly sexually assaulted by five former world junior hockey players are not evidence she agreed to multiple sex acts, a prosecution lawyer said during closing submissions.Instead, Crown attorney Meaghan Cunningham asserted that the short video clips that one of the accused, Michael McLeod, shot on his cell phone in the early hours of June 19, 2018, were coerced statements that amount to “box checking” after the fact.
