The ongoing trial involving five former junior hockey players has revealed unsettling testimonies regarding an alleged sexual assault incident in June 2018 in London, Ontario. Key witness Brett Howden recounted a moment when Alex Formenton questioned his decision to accompany a woman to the bathroom, seeking affirmation from teammates, who ultimately remained silent. Testimonies detail the chaotic environment, with the woman reportedly intoxicated and feeling pressured.

Prosecutors allege that Formenton and his co-defendants—Michael McLeod, Dillon Dube, Carter Hart, and Callan Foote—engaged in sexual acts with the woman without her consent, while the defense argues that she actively participated in the events. The case has garnered significant media attention, emphasizing the complexities of consent and the responsibilities of players in such situations.
