Before somebody claims I'm trying to justify anything, I'm not...
... But if she didn't report this immediately and have blood drawn this sounds like a good defense attorney's wet dream. Not saying they'll win or lose. But these are very, very difficult to prove and get a conviction on.

Generally, in my experience, the way publication bans are worded, is that nothing can be published "that could identify the complainant". So it is a case-by-case basis as to whether the accused's name can be reported. For example, if the accused is a relative of the complainant, there would be concerns that naming the accused would reveal who the complainant is.
It would depend on the details of the case whether it is thought that identifying any of the accused in media could somehow reveal her identity (as far as I know, she's only ever been referred to as "E.M."). That said, it will be easy to figure out who they are, because the court dockets are still published and you can always check Home - Daily Court Lists to see who's up in any given courthouse on any given day (even if they have legal counsel appearing for them, the accused's name will still appear). One could simply check the lists for London court every day until he starts seeing recognizable NHL names. I wouldn't recommend reporting those names on here as that could run afoul of the publication ban, but private conversations are not "publication".

Oh...that's what that was for. Don't mind me, I'm not just plugging it back in now that I know it's supposed to do something

Bear is the one mod that if I get a penalty from I'd take it with pride. Nothing against any of the others, but Bear is quite funny when you know shit is going to go sideways.
While the speculation threads on legal matters are a nightmare for mods to maintain, I do enjoy their comments in them

Can't look at these the same way after Skinamarink.

All we're asking is that we need to keep specific player names out of the conversation unless and until it's official. We've been legal actioned for less.
It's not difficult. Most of you are smarter than me AND HAVE POINTED THAT OUT TO ME MANY TIMES VIA DIRECT MESSAGE to that effect (I laminate my favorites for my mod wall).
If I can connect the dots, you can too. Smile and keep it to yourself. Maybe you're right, maybe you're wrong, maybe we don't get sued. Kapish?
(And no, I'm not going to argue with you over your opinion about this.)

They already know. They cannot name names. Not allowed too.

Very difficult to say as each case has its own unique aspects. Depending on what mode of trial they elect (judge alone at Ontario Court of Justice, judge alone at Superior Court, judge and jury at Superior Court) could change the timeframe significantly.
Assuming they go for judge and jury at SCJ (the slowest option) we're probably looking at minimum 2 years before it gets to trial, and very easily could be a lot longer. I have a case in London Court next month where the accused was arrested in October of 2020.
