All players involved reveal their plea

While we have seen individual posts from lawyers on social media, the latest documents submitted in court have now revealed the plea of all five players.
One takeaway of the documents filed in court is confirmation that police in London, Ont. believe that the 2018 World Juniors player who E.M. says she initially had consensual s*x with also s******y a*******d her.
Again, lawyers for the five players have said they all will plead not guilty. The allegations against them have not been proven.

According to those documents, all five players have revealed they will plead not guilty to the charges brought against them, and while it may take some time, they will have their opportunity in court to make these pleas.
With so much information still coming out, this is a situation that continues to develop, and with every new detail revealed, we will strive to keep you updated.
