The matters discussed in the absence of a jury cannot be reported unless the jurors are deliberately separated. The dismissal followed brief testimony from a detective with London police, who began discussing the setting of Jack’s Bar. This is where the complainant met Michael McLeod, one of five players on trial in the case, before returning to a city hotel room in June 2018. According to the initial Crown submission, McLeod allegedly invited several colleagues to his room where multiple sexual acts took place with the complainant over a period of several hours. McLeod and his co-accused Dillon Dobb, Carter Hart, Cale Foote and Alex Formington have all pleaded not guilty to sexual assault in the June 2018 encounter. McLeod has also pleaded not guilty to an additional charge of being a party to a crime of sexual assault. Each of the five accused players is accused of having sexual relations with the woman without her consent.
