Carter Hart, Michael McLeod, Cal Foote, Dillon Dube and Alex Formenton have each been charged with one count of sexual assault, with McLeod also facing an additional charge, the London Police Service confirmed Monday.
Nearly six years after a woman alleged she had been sexually assaulted by five then-members of Canada's World Junior hockey team, the police chief of a southwestern Ontario city offered an apology for how long it had taken for charges to be laid in the case.
Every detail of the case involving four current National Hockey League players and one former NHL player charged with sexual assault is likely to attract close attention and legal arguments, Rick Westhead writes.
