Elle soutient avoir ressenti une peur imminente de blessures physiques, qu'elle pleurait parfois et qu'elle a essayé de quitter la pièce, mais elle aurait été «dirigée, manipulée et intimidée pour qu'elle reste, après quoi elle a été soumise à d'autres agressions sexuelles». La police de London a refusé d'émettre des commentaires. Elle aurait subi une série d'actes sexuels auxquels elle n'a pas consenti, indique la plainte. «J'étais vraiment ivre, je ne me sentais pas bien du tout après. Mais je n'essaie pas de causer des problèmes à qui que ce soit», ajoute-t-elle. Vous devriez être corrects maintenant, alors j'espère que rien de plus n'en sortira», écrit-elle.

The woman who accused the former CHL players of assault has alleged she was heavily intoxicated before she returned to a player’s hotel room and engaged in consensual sex. Dr. Lise Gotell, a women’s study professor at the University of Alberta and an expert on sexual assault law, said that the Supreme Court of Canada has not offered a clear opinion on whether someone who is heavily intoxicated can provide consent. “Even after consent is given, it can be retracted at any time, which means that a small video – whether it is six or 20 seconds – does not tell the whole story. This is a serious matter that she is mis [sic] representing and could have significant implications for a lot of people including you,” the player wrote at 12:06 p.m. “A six-second or 20-second video just is not enough to provide the context for what’s happened. I don’t want anything bad to come of it so I told her to stop,” the woman wrote at 11:53 a.m. Both lawyers for the alleged victim and seven former CHL players declined to comment on the videos and text messages. I just felt like I was being made fun of and taken advantage of,” the woman wrote at 12:04 p.m. have you thought about what you are going to say to them?” “I appreciate you telling the truth. The videos and text messages were provided to London Police Services detectives by lawyers representing seven former CHL players in the days after the alleged June 19, 2018, assault in a London, Ont., hotel following a Hockey Canada event. Hockey Canada has reopened its investigation into the incident and the alleged victim has said through her lawyer she will cooperate with the organization’s investigation.

L'un des joueurs impliqué dans le présumé viol collectif camouflé par Hockey Canada a contacté la plaignante dès le lendemain des évènements, ...

Selon un énoncé officiel diffusé par plusieurs médias, cela « inclurait l’administration des fonds de l’organisation ». Une voix d’homme lui demanderait « Es-tu correcte avec ça ? », ce à quoi elle répondrait « Je suis correcte avec ça ». La femme s’est ensuite excusée pour « les troubles qu’elle aurait pu causer », selon le quotidien. « Le message qui est envoyé à l’élite, c’est “faites vos conneries et on va vous protéger avec l’argent du monde qui veut juste jouer au hockey !” ». « On savait qu’Hockey Canada avait payé des victimes plusieurs fois dans les dernières années pour qu’elles gardent le silence, et on constate maintenant que ces sommes viennent des poches du gouvernement et des parents qui veulent juste que leurs jeunes fassent du sport », s’insurge-t-il en entrevue. La fédération sportive a confirmé mardi l’existence d’un « fonds national d’équité » au sein de l’organisation, une information d’abord révélée par La Presse canadienne.

Special multimillion-dollar fund financed by registration fees of players across the country used to settle abuse claims with minimal outside scrutiny.

“Hockey Canada receives funding from various sources, including the federal government and from its members, who pay a fixed amount each year to participate in Hockey Canada’s insurance program,” Mr. Conway said. Nor did it respond to a question about whether Hockey Canada makes an effort to disclose the fund. It also settled on behalf of the eight unnamed players, in a situation that was never fully investigated, nor subjected to the scrutiny of an insurance company. Hockey Canada sought to have his affidavit deleted from the court record, and replaced by a new document sworn by different executives. According to information Hockey Canada provided to The Globe last week after being asked about the McCurdie affidavit, the organization now charges a fee of $23.80 per player in 2022. On the topic of alleged sexual assault, the executive indicated Hockey Canada also keeps a reserve fund to deal with cases on its own, in addition to carrying insurance. “And they settled not only on their own behalf, and on behalf of the Canadian Hockey Association, but on behalf of eight unknown John Doe players. As he detailed how extensive the organization’s coverage was, Mr. McCurdie said Hockey Canada carried comprehensive insurance for all sorts of liabilities, including injuries, and potential sexual assault claims. The fact that one of Hockey Canada’s first calls was to its insurer, rather than the police, has drawn criticism. The claim alleges the organization “perpetuated a toxic environment that condones violent and sexualized conduct, including sexual assault.” And by ignoring these problems, it allowed its employees, coaches and players to act with immunity and without fear of reprisal, the documents say. Nor is it listed in the organization’s handbook for parents and players, which describes how registration fees are spent on Hockey Canada insurance coverage, even though some of that money is channelled into the fund. Though Hockey Canada hasn’t said specifically where the money for the settlement came from, the reserve fund it uses to cover alleged sexual assault cases is also an investment account.

C'est ce que révèlent des une copie des messages textes obtenus par The Globe and Mail.

« Tu dois parler à ta mère maintenant et mettre les choses au clair avec la police avant que cela n'aille trop loin. Tu devrais être en sécurité maintenant, alors j'espère que rien de plus n'arrivera », a-t-elle écrit. Ce à quoi la femme a répondu qu’elle s’excusait pour les problèmes que cela avait déjà causés. Un joueur a demandé à la femme si elle avait contacté la policeHockey mardi, 19 juil. « C'est difficile pour tout le monde au Canada de croire et d'avoir confiance envers quelqu'un à Hockey Canada », a soupiré M.

The woman's lawyer said in an email last week his client, who did not take part in the initial probe or speak with police, "will be participating in the Hockey Canada investigation." Hockey Canada said in its open letter that participation by players in the third-party investigation into the London incident will be mandatory — unlike before — and that anyone who declines will be banned from all activities and programs. Smith, who took over from Tom Renney as CEO on July 1, testified on Parliament Hill last month that Hockey Canada reported a total of three sexual assault complaints in recent years, but wouldn't discuss the other two in front of the committee. Hockey Canada CEO Scott Smith testified before the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage in Ottawa last month that no government money was used in the settlement of the alleged assault, both of which were first reported by TSN in May. Hockey Canada added the fund was "established in a manner consistent with reserve funds maintained by other large national organizations." The detail was included in a July 2021 affidavit sworn by Glen McCurdie, who was then Hockey Canada's vice-president of insurance and risk management, as part of a lawsuit launched by an injured player in Ontario.

What are the decisions that led to creating that, versus broader changes in the culture of the sport and delving deeper into that?" Last month, Canada’s minister of sport, Pascale St-Onge, announced the freezing of government funding to the federation and called for a forensic audit. “This includes, but is not limited to, counselling and treatment for players, concussion research grants to the Canadian Hockey League, criminal record checks of Hockey Canada staff, donations to Kids Help Phone, as well as a range of safety initiatives. The Globe and Mail on Tuesday reported that Hockey Canada built the fund using revenue from minor hockey registration fees. “And certainly as a government, we will continue to be unequivocal in our condemnation of what we're learning and mostly in our demands that things change significantly.” For readers in America, a list of resources and references can be found here.

A Hockey Canada spokesperson said Tuesday that probe would look at how the fund is administered. “Absolutely shocking, in terms of what most Canadians would consider the preeminent sports organization in the country to just have a slush fund built on kids' registration fees to pay out sexual assault cases,” said MP Chris Bittle, who serves on the Canadian Heritage committee.

The Hockey Canada mess has passed the point of good excuses, or even bad excuses for good reasons. At a certain point, people stop caring why you did ...

It is difficult to imagine a way in which this story might continue to surprise us. The crux of it – that Hockey Canada is really sorry and it’s not leaving. You could hire an exorcist to call up the spirits of former U.S. Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes and Hammurabi and it’s not going to make anyone feel better. Now the scandal risks migration from an administrative body into the thing it administered. They just want you to put your hand up, admit you were to blame and go away. It has become so tangled that it can no longer see the only way out – clean, ruthless cuts. Nobody wants to hear you argue the fine points of corporate banking. The neighbours won’t let it go so you call a meeting and promise to do further, deeper investigating, possibly involving new dogs. You get caught using the neighbourhood’s yard-sale money to settle a debt. The fund was seeded in part using registration money paid by amateur hockey players across the country, from little kids to grown men and women. This was an off-the-public-books account that held money in reserve in order to pay out legal awards. Through no fault of your own, you might be implicated.
