just a note to those who dont know
London police didn't proceed with charges after the incident was first reported to them in 2018, but the case was reopened in 2022.
The alleged gang rape occurred the night of a Hockey Canada gala June 18, 2018. Canada had won the gold medal at the world junior hockey championship in January in Buffalo.
A firestorm of criticism descended upon Hockey Canada in May when TSN reported the national governing body of hockey had settled a lawsuit for an undisclosed amount with E.M., who had sought $3.55 million.
E.M. thought she observed the player texting and then two men arrived at their room.
After going to the washroom, she says she returned to find "seven or eight" men in the room. The player confirmed in police interviews he texted teammates to come to his room and said E.M. "seemed fine with the guys in the room, in fact, she appeared kind of flirty."
E.M. described sex acts she felt coerced into performing, and said the players laughed and joked at her expense. She said they slapped her buttocks so hard it hurt.
When she cried in the washroom and got dressed to leave, they convinced her to stay. When E.M. did leave the room, she briefly returned to look for a ring she'd lost.
The following morning, her mother reported the incident to the London police. Her husband contacted Hockey Canada and provided a picture of the player who accompanied E.M. to the hotel that night.
Police say the player recorded two short videos of E.M. that night in the hotel room in which he asks her consent for what was happening.
Police say they also have an Instagram conversation between E.M. and the player, in which the player asks her if she had gone to the police and states "you need to talk to your mother right now and straighten things out with the police before this goes too far. This is a serious matter that she is misrepresenting and could have significant implications for a lot of people including you."

The only time you see London, ON in the news is for something bad. It is also the place where Wayne Simmonds had a banana thrown at him. (And that terrorist who ran over that Muslim family or the mayor going to jail for corruption or . . . )
The worst to me is what the flames did with that mental health ish for a rapist
Samsonov is carrying the Leafs tonight. It’s good to see him bounce back.
Matthews with the OT winner.
One of the worst trades of all time
