Former world junior hockey players’ sex assault trial paused due to juror illness
The sex assault trial of five former members of Canada’s world junior hockey team has been put on hold for a day due to juror illness.
The trial is expected to resume Friday and hear more testimony from Taylor Raddysh, an NHL player who was also on the 2018 world junior team.
Raddysh, who plays for the Washington Capitals, took the stand remotely from Arlington, Va., on Wednesday afternoon.
Michael McLeod, Carter Hart, Alex Formenton, Dillon Dube and Callan Foote have all pleaded not guilty to sexual assault in connection with an encounter in a London, Ont., hotel room in June 2018.
