Each of the five accused players is alleged to have had sexual contact with the complainant, known as E.M., without her voluntarily agreeing to those specific acts, prosecutors told the court at trial.
It’s alleged McLeod, Hart and Dubé obtained oral sex from the complainant at some point during the night, and Dube also allegedly slapped her buttocks while she was engaged in a sexual act with someone else.
Formenton is alleged to have vaginally penetrated the complainant in the bathroom. Foote allegedly did the splits over E.M.’s face while she lay on the ground, grazing his genitals over her face.
The Crown alleges McLeod vaginally penetrated the complainant again at the end of the night, without her consent.
