That's so wild, my mom out of all people said it'd be him. Why? Because out of the 5 players that was the one she said she'd be most eager to sleep with if she were younger

My mother for you ladies and Gentlemen

What's her @???

Consent or not, and there “may” have been, I won’t go as far as to say not.

To do that to a young woman. Is just sick. f*** Hart. He’s made enough money to join the plebs in regular life after it’s done.

I don’t really want to know, and hope it’s not made public - but what’s the defense here? No we didn’t do it at all? Or no we had consent to do it? Option two is such a sleazy answer.

I don't see how they can deny it happened. Those "consent" videos wouldn't exist if nothing happened. I am curious what the new evidence is. I'm assuming the police never found any other video evidence (which assuredly existed at some point). So I have to believe the 2 witnesses are going to be the crux of the case for the prosecution.

She get paid by Hockey Can?

Dunno if that would change things.

Their defense is so unapologetic that I wouldn't be surprised if these 5 pukes strutted into the courtroom with this song playing as their theme music...

 

[gertbfrobe16]

I wonder if any of the players were threatened with prosecution to get a new witness and were then able to bring charges.

I highly doubt that. You're probably exaggerating a bit. Some of the most leveled headed back and forths I've ever had have been on Twitter.

Everyone should really watch the The Fifth Estate story. It goes through her initial lawsuit in detail.

Exhibit A of the most easily manipulated continent on earth, full of the stupidest people.

"The Five Head" comment might bring her out. I remember she was awakened from her slumber with one of my references to that back and forth a couple of years ago or something. It was funny. She was cool and a good sport. Would be nice of her to stop by and say hi but maybe not in this thread! Lol

Thank you....very disturbing and puts this incident into more context given the pervasive toxic culture (hazing etc) that has existed far too long. Convinces me even more regarding incidents that have carried over into the NHL like the one involving prominant Washington Capital players back in the early 90's. Those shouldn't be swept under the rug with the dustpan of history either if Hockey Canada wants to change its "culture."

Heck Lindros might have had a longer career if there was more accountability with that Caps incident way back....just sayin'

But that is just small potatos compared to what these women were subjected to due to the toxic culture and willful corruption exposed in that broadcast report.

I believe she got several million dollars.

I believe she got several million dollars.

She sued for $3M+ but no details of the settlement are public knowledge.

Gotcha, must have read that wrong.

Hit her up on IG/Twitter. Tell her to come back

So that’s kinda a thing for me anyway.

Should she get compensation? Sure. But both jail time, and that?

Not saying it’s wrong but dunno how I feel about such a concept.

Civil trial and Criminal. Happens a lot in the States not so sure about Canada

She received money from Hockey Canada and not any of the players through the settlement.

Hell, the players weren't even informed that they settled, IIRC.

Nothing wrong with having both happen. I may be a little bit biased being a personal injury attorney, but if someone injures you (physically, mentally, financially, or otherwise) you deserve to be compensated for those injuries. The wrongdoer also deserves to be punished. Sometimes you get one or the other. Sometimes you get both. Sometimes you get neither.

Others have explained it but I'll add that, though we don't know the details of the settlement other than what she initially sought, we do know that Hockey Canada had to liquidate assets to pay the settlement. Which means either it was substantial or Hockey Canada was really cash poor.

I think it's totally fitting that there be a cash settlement from Hockey Canada and a trial for the accused. The accused allegedly committed the crime and the institution enabled the situation and attempted to protect the players. So it gets punished as well.
