The woman who filed a lawsuit against Hockey Canada over an alleged group sexual assault recently passed a polygraph examination, her lawyer said Tuesday.
The woman alleged eight players — including members of Canada’s 2018 world junior team — sexually assaulted her following a Hockey Canada gala event in London, Ont., four years ago.
In what’s exploded into a national scandal around Hockey Canada, the woman filed her statement of claim on April 20, 2022, and Hockey Canada settled the case on May 24. Talach said that Hockey Canada’s original claim that the woman didn’t approach or co-operate with police was inaccurate. “This woman has fully engaged and co-operated with all the legal and formal investigations surrounding these events,” the statement said.Article content
