Five members of Canada’s 2018 world junior hockey team accused of sexual assault have all been found not guilty, an Ontario judge has ruled.

Superior Court Justice Maria Carroccia delivered her decision inside a London, Ont., courtroom Thursday in the high-profile trial of Michael McLeod, Alex Formenton, Carter Hart, Dillon Dube and Callan Foote.

“In this case, I have found actual consent not vitiated by fear. I do not find the evidence of E.M. to be either credible or reliable,” said Carroccia of the female complainant, known as E.M. in court documents as her identity is protected under a standard publication ban.

Global’s Sean O’Shea has the details.
