Video evidence, NHLer testimony raise questions in world junior sexual assault trial

The trial is hearing from the third of five legal teams defending members of Canada’s 2018 world junior hockey team again today.

Dan Brown, who represents Alex Formenton, left off yesterday suggesting the complainant – E.M. – adopted a “fun … alter-ego” as a result of the alcohol she consumed at Jack’s bar in London, Ont., on the night of the alleged assault in 2018.

Brown suggested that alter ego didn’t “think of the consequences” of her behaviour that night.

E.M. agreed she had been drinking, but told the court she should be able to have drinks and take shots at a bar without the night ending in alleged assault.

Another defence lawyer who previously cross-examined E.M. had suggested E.M.’s behaviour led the accused to believe she consented to group sexual activity at the Delta hotel in London.

E.M. said any behaviour of that kind happened on “autopilot” as she tried to grasp what was happening to her.

Court is back in session around 10 a.m. ET.
