Crown continues closing arguments at sex assault trial of ex-Hockey Canada world junior players
The Latest
The sexual assault trial that began in late April for five former Hockey Canada world junior players continues today in Ontario Superior Court in London.
Assistant Crown attorney Meaghan Cunningham is back up to continue her closing arguments.
She began Wednesday afternoon after all five defence teams wrapped their final submissions.
Cunningham has been trying to undermine the defence theory that it was the complainant, E.M., who instigated group sexual acts.
All five men — Michael McLeod, Carter Hart, Alex Formenton, Dillon Dubé and Cal Foote — have pleaded not guilty to alleged sexual assaults at a hotel in June 2018.
WARNING: Court proceedings include graphic details of alleged sexual assault and might affect those who have experienced sexual violence or know someone who's been affected.

RCMP launch secondary search in Battlefords for Ashley Morin
WATCH: RCMP will be searching waterways in the Battlefords area for clues into the 2018 disappearances of Sask. woman. The Saskatchewan RCMP says it has concluded an initial river search for signs of Ashley Morin, but found no evidence yet to indicate what happened to the missing woman. In an update sent Friday afternoon, a spokesperson with the RCMP said investigators have launched a secondary search in a remote area of the Battlefords river system. Morin was 31 years old when she was last seen in July of 2018 in North Battleford. Police believe she was the victim of a homicide. On June 16, RCMP announced that they will continue the investigation by conducting searches of rivers and riverbanks in the area throughout the week. 'The initial river search concluded yesterday afternoon. Today, investigators are conducting a secondary search in a remote area of the Battlefords river system; that search is expected to conclude tomorrow,' RCMP said in a statement Friday. RCMP say the historic case unit continues to investigate tips regarding Morin's disappearance. Anyone with information is asked to contact police.
