Warning: this story contains distressing details of an alleged sexual assault. Bernard Lynch, 69, coached hockey in North America and Europe for 47 years.
The complainant in the current case testified on Tuesday that he was 17 when he was sexually assaulted by Lynch in a shower at Lynch's home.
The complainant has previously said he understood he was going to stay with Lynch on the night he arrived, Aug. 7, before moving to a hotel on the second night.
Lynch got visibly frustrated multiple times under cross examination from senior Crown prosecutor Chris White. Lynch bristled when challenged about the date he flew out, his role at the clinic and his denial of the alleged assault. Under questioning from White the complainant testified that he later tried to sober up by taking a shower.
The junior hockey coach then grasped the teen's penis, the complainant said. He testified that he repeatedly said no, but that Lynch continued to touch him. Lynch then told the teen that they should masturbate together, the complainant testified. He also said Lynch grabbed his hand and placed it on Lynch's genitals.
