Five members from Canada’s 2018 world junior team (Hart, McLeod, Dube, Foote and Formenton) told to surrender to police, facing sexual assault charges

[Djp]

Fair point. But can college players go to world junior even if under 20? Not sure.

NCAA players play in WJC and U18.

confirm Dillon Dube, Alex Formenton, Carter Hart, Michael McLeod and Cal Foote have all been charged with sexual assault."Dillon Dube on or about the 19th day of June in the year 2018 at the City of London in the Southwest Region did commit a sexual assault on E.M., contrary to Section 271 of the Criminal Code of Canada."The document repeats the same allegation against each of the other four players and says McLeod is also facing an additional charge of sexual assault for "being a party to the offence."All of the players have said they will plead not guilty and the allegations against them have not been tested in court.The players were arrested on Jan. 26 and their next appearance date is Feb. 5, according to the documents."

Interesting, I wonder if that means that McLeod is"Player 1".

Interesting, so it appears that McLeod might be "Player 1".

Judging by the additional charge that would make sense.

Interesting, I wonder if that means that McLeod is"Player 1". The only thing is that in the previous documents Player 1 supposedly had a 99 birthdate...

I thought the previous document claimed it was a 98 birthday.

Since this is about minor hockey, again, this isn't about the NFL.

Ya just pointing out it’s a worse league.

It's in the police report that according to the victim, they threatened her with golf clubs.

Do you have the link to the police report.

Macleod is a 98 birth year

Again, not about football.

It's in the globe article that was posted. It's in the thread.

 

[Pink Mist]

exactly

What post number, thanks, didn’t read that one yet.

 

[A Loyal Demidog]

I know. I was replying to the other poster who said the document said 99.

 

[Strangle]

Watch the Woodstock '99 documentaries for actual footage of what I mean. No money involved. Young men? booze? drugs? testosterone? power? outnumbering females? Rape/sexual assault? Yup.

Wasn’t that more like a riot?

 

[Old Gregg]

Ya just pointing out it’s a worse league.


Do you have the link to the police report.

In the globe article she mentioned that the guys were joking about using golf clubs for sexual acts and they were all laughing about it. I mistook the threatening with golf clubs as one or more of the players threatened to beat her with them if she tried to leave.

 

[Melrose Munch]

What post number, thanks, didn’t read that one yet.

probably 176 or 178

Ah! I wondered if it would be specified as "party to the offence".

Curious they charged Macleod with both straight sex assault, and party to the offence of sex assault. Unless if there were two women involved he'd only ever get convicted of one or the other, but laying charges "in the alternative" can certainly happen.

 

[MacMacandBarbie]

No, not even close imo. All done.

Hart and McLeod will carve out European careers at the very least, they are fantastic.

If you think that is what caused this you are waaaaay of base. Kids have less sex now than in the past. Media blows things out of the water but events like this are not from that.

It’s hard to say what caused this, but you’re being naive if you don’t think super stimuli and over sexualization of our media couldn’t be a factor. Not sure how kids having sex less would make them less sexualized, I think that point had the opposite effect.

 

[iCanada]

You're saying that because you're failing to put yourself in the victim's shoes. It's much different when you're a woman who wakes up to 8 or more uninvited large men in your room carrying golf clubs and you're completely alone.

I don't even think it has to be a gendered thing.

Imagine you woke up, naked, to eight 6'2 200+ lbs men also naked who are holding golf clubs and trying to f*** you.

I'm 6'2 and relatively muscular myself, but like... I'm pretty sure I'd be more likely in freeze / flight mode then fight mode.

 

[robertmac43]

The Cal Foote thing bothers me. He has a famous dad and could have gone the USHL >>> College Hockey route to avoid this. Why go to the CHL? Why not play for team USA?

How would that have made him avoid it? He is being accused of sexual assault....could have happened at college instead.

 

[Danarqhy]

I thought the previous document claimed it was a 98 birthday.

You're right, it is 98. I mixed up 98 and 99 there, I'll go back and erase that from my post not to confuse people. I think this all but confirms that McLeod is player 1 and the one who initiated and facilitated this whole thing.

 

[Gregor Samsa]

So McLeod player 1?

I am not a lawyer. That said, I would expect heavier charges for "player 1", if anything. The way I am interpreting the charge is that there is less evidence against McLeod, or his conduct was different from the other 4, because it reads as an alternative lesser charge. Now, that doesn't exclude him from being that "player 1", but I do not think it clearly points in his direction.
