Advocates for sexual-assault survivors worry Hockey Canada trial disruptions will dissuade others from seeking justice
May 16, 2025
The latest disruption in the trial of five former world junior hockey players in London, Ont., is frustrating, upsetting but ultimately unsurprising, say local sexual assault survivors and advocates who have frequently gathered outside the courthouse over the past few weeks.The judge hearing the trial dismissed the jury on Friday after a juror claimed they were being laughed at by two defence lawyers, who denied that happened. The trial is now continuing under a judge alone. It was the second disruption in the case, which had a mistrial over another issue with an earlier jury on the first day.
