Canada

The sexual assault trial that began in late April for five former Hockey Canada world junior players continued today in Ontario Superior Court in London.

All of the defence teams have rested their cases. Closing arguments are scheduled to begin the morning of June 9.

The detective who led the 2022 investigation that resulted in charges testified this morning.

Det. Lyndsey Ryan said the case was reopened four years after an initial probe ended without charges so the London Police Service could ensure “everything was done properly.”
